EDMONTON – The severe thunderstorm watches and warnings that were issued for parts of central and northeastern Alberta are now over.
A cold front was forecast to come through the Edmonton area early Wednesday evening, according to Global Edmonton meteorologist Nicola Crosbie.
“It will bring cold air to the mid-levels, which combined with the heat and humidity at the surface will kick up some storms,” she said.
“Hail, heavy downpour and gusty winds are all possible.”
The threat of severe weather was expected to shift eastward towards the Saskatchewan border by early evening.
A watch that was previously put in place for the City of Edmonton was later dropped.
Environment Canada reminds people that severe thunderstorms can produce tornadoes.
