Tornado watch for
City of Edmonton - St. Albert - Sherwood Park continued

Conditions are favourable for the development of funnel clouds or weak tornadoes. These types of funnel clouds form out of large cumulus clouds or very weak thunderstorms and normally do not have the energy to reach the ground. However one or two of these funnels may briefly touch down and can become destructive over a very small area. Treat all funnel clouds and tornadoes seriously and avoid when possible. Should one develop overhead take shelter until it dissipates. Remember these funnel clouds will normally appear with little or no warning.

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

Should you spot a funnel cloud or tornado...And only if it is safe to do so...You can call 1-800-239-0484 to report your sighting. Please note this phone number is for reporting severe weather only.



An unstable airmass combined with Plenty of available moisture could create severe thunderstorms this afternoon over east central Alberta. Environment Canada meteorologists will watch these areas and issue severe thunderstorm warnings if necessary.

A funnel cloud was recently reported northwest of Edmonton. More funnel clouds are possible this afternoon along a trough of low pressure extending east from the Edmonton area into Saskatchewan.

Kids at home (SE 20 mins of Sherwood Park) playing with horse's outside this afternoon, hadnt rained there yet......

Its too cold for a tornado, you need the heat, and then suddenly cold weather to come in. I also dont need the additional work.

lol environment Canada must not have put their hand out the window to check the temp.....i always thought the same but its not always the case, sometimes apparently the warmer/hot air can be in a pocket above the cool air. i'm no expert just read about it once
