Severe thunderstorm watch issued for eastern Peace region
Environment Canada flagged the threat of dangerous storms as part of a broader round of weather alerts issued across Alberta on Wednesday.
Why it matters
Severe thunderstorms can bring damaging winds, hail and flash flooding that put residents and property in the Peace region at risk with little warning.
Environment Canada issued weather alerts across Alberta on Wednesday, July 15, including a severe thunderstorm watch for the eastern Peace region.
The agency said conditions were favourable for storms capable of producing damaging winds, large hail and heavy rain. Residents in the affected area were advised to monitor local conditions and be prepared to take shelter if severe weather develops.
The watch was one of several weather alerts in effect across the province at the time, as Environment Canada continued to track shifting storm activity through the day.
