A severe thunderstorm watch was issued by Environment Canada at 2:05 pm on Saturday afternoon for the Estevan area. The watch warns of golf ball-sized hail and 100-kph winds that could hit the region in the afternoon and evening.
These storms could potentially result in significant damage to property and vehicles, as well as cause serious injury to individuals. The alert issued by Environment Canada states, “Very large hail can damage property, break windows, dent vehicles and cause serious injury. Strong wind gusts can toss loose objects, damage weak buildings, break branches off trees and overturn large vehicles.”
It is important to remember that severe thunderstorms have the potential to produce tornadoes. Lightning is also a significant risk during these types of storms, with Canadians being killed or injured each year.
The latest forecast can be viewed online for those concerned about these imminent weather threats. It is always best to prepare early for severe weather events by securing any loose outdoor objects and parking vehicles inside garages if possible. If caught outside during a severe storm, take shelter in a sturdy structure.
