Environment Canada says conditions are favourable for the development of severe thunderstorms, which may produce tornadoes late this afternoon and this evening in Lloydminster and area.
Strong winds, large hail, and heavy rain are also possible from about 4:30 p.m. onwards.
In the event of a tornado, or if a tornado warning is issued for your area, it is recommended you take the following actions:
- Go indoors to a room on the lowest floor, away from outside walls and windows, such as a basement, bathroom, stairwell, or interior closet
- Leave mobile homes, vehicles, tents, trailers, and other temporary or free-standing shelters, and move to a strong building if you can
- As a last resort, lie in a low spot and protect your head from flying debris. Lightning kills and injures Canadians every year
- Remember, when thunder roars, go indoors
Tornado watches are issued when atmospheric conditions are favourable for the development of thunderstorms that could produce tornadoes.
