Severe storms sweep through Saskatchewan

REGINA – Severe storms are prompting Environment Canada to warn people in Saskatchewan to keep an eye on the sky.

Disturbances carrying hail swept through southern parts of the province Sunday and were expected again Monday.

Meteorologist Dave Carlson said they were expected to hit eastern areas along the Manitoba boundary from Hudson Bay down to Yorkton.

Carlson said the storms could bring golfball-sized hail and pack winds in excess of 100 kilometres an hour.

Areas around Gravelbourg and Wynyard were hit with hail the size of quarters on Sunday.

But most of those storms appear to have been in unpopulated areas, Carlson said. (CKRM)
