“This is a dangerous and life-threatening situation,” the weather agency warned. “Cover yourself immediately, if the threatening weather is approaching. If you hear a roaring noise or see a funnel cloud, debris swirling near the ground, flying debris or any threatening weather approaching, take refuge immediately “.

A broader view of the forecast continues below:
The stormy pattern continues in the prairies this week, with the risk of strong or severe storms bubbling in some areas. Powerful gusts of wind and large hail are the biggest threats to these storms until Tuesday, although we cannot rule out the possibility of supercells developing. The risk of storms will largely spread across the prairies until Wednesday, with some of the strongest isolated storm cells possibly crossing the international border until the evening hours. Warmer temperatures will also cover the region this week, although no extreme heat is expected until next week. Learn more about the timing and impacts of the storm below.
TUESDAY TO WEDNESDAY: STRONG THREAT THREAT WITH RISK OF GREAT SIZE, STRONG WINDS
Tracking through Alberta and Saskatchewan will cause scattered storms Tuesday afternoon and evening, with a narrow-axis forecast to produce stronger storms in the early evening.
A higher level disturbance and a surface scrubber will be the trigger for Tuesday’s storms.
“An area from Red Deer to Oyen in Alberta to Kindersley and Saskatoon could see stronger storms in the early evening, as the wind shear will be slightly more favorable to withstand stronger storms or supercells,” says Kelly Sonnenburg, a meteorologist for The Weather Network. .
Strong gusts of wind and large hail, even the size of a ping pong ball, are possible in the strongest storms. There is also the risk of one or two funnel clouds from Red Deer to Oyen, where there is a little more twist present in the atmosphere.
On Wednesday, the risk of storms will spread widely through the Prades. The shallow trough over Alberta will migrate east to Saskatchewan and Manitoba, with the focus of scattered storms spread across Manitoba’s Interlake area. Some cells can also develop in the far east of Saskatchewan.
“Storms are expected to develop along the foothills of Alberta, but will mostly be non-severe in nature,” Sonnenburg says. “But we will have to watch out for a developing downturn in Montana that could propel a few stronger isolated storm cells across the international border late in the evening.”
Warmer temperatures are expected throughout the region this week, with a couple of days between mid and 20 degrees above 30 degrees on weekends and weekends. Temperatures above the season are expected for next week, but no extreme heat is seen.
Meteorologists are also looking at the potential of a major system this weekend, as a low-pressure system under development could track the region with possible widespread rainfall and storms, especially in parts of Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
