There is currently a thunderstorm watch in place as follows, although it doesn't look like it will reach Calgary and Okotoks etc.

Severe thunderstorm watch for
Airdrie, Cochrane, Olds & Sundre

Conditions are favorable for the development of severe thunderstorms.

This is an alert to the potential development of severe thunderstorms with large hail and damaging winds.

Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated statements. If threatening weather approaches take immediate safety precautions.

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. If the storms develop extremely heavy downpours...Strong winds and large hail are possible.

It was a bright and sunny start with a bit of light cloud cover. It was +12 at 8.30am and quite warm. It was a very hot day, but it started to cloud over during the afternoon and had got quite dark by around 4.30pm and shortly after it started to rain.

The following weather warning has been issued:
Tornado watch for: Calgary, Okotoks, High River Airdrie, Cochrane & Claresholm

Funnel clouds have been reported southeast of Airdrie and over Southern Calgary.

Conditions are favorable for the development of funnel clouds and tornadoes. These types of tornadoes form out of weak thunderstorms and are usually not as destructive as their severe thunderstorm cousin. They are difficult to track and can appear without warning. They normally move slowly and can last for many minutes. They often appear as a giant column of dust from the ground to the bottom of the thunderstorm. Their destructive power is usually felt over a very small area.

Treat all funnel clouds and tornadoes seriously and avoid when possible. Should one develop nearby take shelter underground or in a reinforced structure like a bathroom or interior closet. If you are in your vehicle try to move away from the tornado at right angles.

Environment Canada continues to monitor the situation closely. Please continue to monitor your local media or weather radio for further updates.

Conditions favorable for the development of funnel clouds and landspout tornadoes are occurring over areas near highway 2 and to the east of the City of Calgary. Daytime heating is acting in combination with an unstable airmass to produce funnel clouds. The convergence boundary responsible for the formation is moving southeast at 10 km/h.

By around 6pm the Watch was over and the sun was shining again.

Upwards of 100 mm of rain is expected by Friday. In addition, strong winds gusting over 90 km/h are expected Thursday.

A developing low pressure center currently over Montana has caused an area of rain to develop over Southern Alberta. This rain will continue through the week, tapering off Friday as the low track northeastwards into Manitoba. Rainfall totals upwards of 100 mm is expected. Rainfall amounts will be monitored as the system continues to develop.

As the low intensifies tonight and Thursday strong north to northwesterly winds are expected through Southeastern Alberta. Wind gusts of 90 km/h will develop Thursday morning and diminish Thursday evening as the low tracks into Manitoba.
