Tornado watch for
Brooks - Strathmore - Vulcan - Drumheller - Three Hills issued

Conditions are favourable for the development of funnel clouds or weak tornadoes. These types of funnel clouds form out of large cumulus clouds or very weak thunderstorms and normally do not have the energy to reach the ground. However one or two of these funnels may briefly touch down and can become destructive over a very small area. Treat all funnel clouds and tornadoes seriously and avoid when possible. Should one develop overhead take shelter until it dissipates. Remember these funnel clouds will normally appear with little or no warning.

Environment Canada continues to monitor the situation closely. Please continue to monitor your local media or weatheradio for further updates.

Should you spot a funnel cloud or tornado...And only if it is safe to do so...You can call 1-800-239-0484 to report your sighting. Please note this phone number is for reporting severe weather only.

Radar indicates strong thunderstorms developing in a line from just north of Okotoks to Rockford. The line is moving north at 40 km/h. The main threat is heavy rain strong winds and large hail. These storms may produce weak funnel clouds which can touch down briefly.
