AlbertaWX – Central Alberta Storm Chasers

Fairly high risk of severe weather today with slight tornado risk. Mlcapes of 1750-2250 combined with deep shear on all levels should power some very severe storms. Risk of exceptional hail. Flash floods, damaging winds and possible tornadoes. Stay tuned to albertawx for further information.

A particular area to keep an eye on is
Drumheller, up to Edmonton and over to Loydminister

Intense pulse storms will be a daily and nightly occurrence over the next few days with temps in the mid to upper 20s. These storms will be short lived and mainly hang out in the foothills and lightning triangle due to lack of shear. A few storms will pop up here and there but generally it will be calm east of the QE2 corridor. The heatwave will begin to break down by the end of the weekend and could lead to more severe supercell storms as shear increases.

Highs in the mid to upper 20s combined with dews in the mid teens should spark some isolated severe storms today. With MLCPAPE near 1250 with minimal shear, pulse storms are most likely today into tonight, a slight chance of a longer lived storm or squall line. Stay tuned to AlbertaWX for updates
