An unstable airmass combined with daytime heating is acting to create conditions favourable for the development of severe thunderstorms across much of south and Central Alberta. The strongest possibility of severe thunderstorms remains over the foothills west of west of Edmonton and Red Deer. However the potential for severe storms has now spread across highway 2.
