Overview
- Environment Canada has an active severe thunderstorm warning for Calgary as a slow-moving storm crosses the south part of the city and parts of Calgary have already seen heavy rain.
- The storm is expected to bring strong wind gusts, intense rainfall and hail up to about quarter size, increasing the risk of downed branches and property damage.
- A separate air-quality advisory for elevated smoke remains in effect from earlier in the week and is forecast to ease by Wednesday.
- Residents should avoid driving through flooded streets, secure loose outdoor items, and take shelter from hail and strong gusts until the warning is lifted.
- The alert and impacts are based on Environment Canada guidance and local reporting, no damage or injuries have been confirmed so far and updates are expected as conditions change.
