Since todays setup is failing due the weak cold front hitting early the storms will probably end up in Sask. In the meantime entrertain yourself with Mike Ruraks lightning video.

AlbertWX was on the scene of not one but two monster supercells. We intercepted the cells near Millet and nearly got cored ourselves! Residents reported tennisball sized hail in places. Cars were trashed streets were flooded and siding looked like it was shot up with a shotgun.

Shear values of 50-60kt in the high levels and 30-40kt in the mid levels coupled with mixed layer cape values of 2250 are going to be a recipe for an excellent setup for Monday in central and southern Alberta. Me and Mike will be out on Monday if the models hold we will be staging somewhere south of Edmonton most likely Red Deer. This setup has the potential to unleash large tornadoes and large hail. I fully expect that Environment Canada will be issuing severe thunderstorm watches by noon. Sunday also looks like some possibility of supercells in the region as well. Stay tuned to AlbertaWX for updates!
