    Default Big Storm!

    Anyone in the Calgary Area, specifically to the north, HEADS UP!!!!

    Massive storm system heading your way, with baseball sized hail already reported. It may weaken before it hits Calgary... (I hope), but so far it's on a direct course.

    http://www.weathermod.com/alberta/latest_loop.gif

    At 12:20 A.M. MDT radar shows a pair of strong thunderstorms - one cell 55 km southwest of Rocky Mountain House and a second cell 35 km south of Rocky Mountain House. These cells are both moving southwards at 40 km/h. These storms produced baseball sized hail earlier this evening. These storms are also capable of giving gusty winds and heavy downpours.

    Looks like this could be a nasty one if it remains strong when it arrives....IF it arrives!

    We were almost directly under a lightning bolt on our way back from the mountains a few hours back. There was a massive flash about 50 yards to our left and an immediate thunder which sounded like someone shot our car with a shotgun, Pretty freaky!

    Looks like the SW portion is starting to weaken as it's passing west of Olds. Main cell is still going strong, but it's path is to skim the airport heading SSE. I think it will weaken as well.

    Warning released for calgary!

    Severe thunderstorm warning for
    City of Calgary issued

    At 1:10 A.M. MDT radar shows a line of strong thunderstorms extending from 35 km southeast of Sundre to 15 northwest of Olds. This line is moving south-southeastwards at 40 km/h. These thunderstorms have produced large hail and winds gusts near 100 km/h at Sundre less than half hour ago.
    This is a warning that severe thunderstorms are imminent or occurring in these regions. Remember that some severe thunderstorms produce tornadoes. Listen for updated warnings.

    It's weakened considerably in the last half hour, but with it small hail is still possible, but HUGE downpours and 100 km/h winds are expected still.
