Environment Canada has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for the following communities:
- Porcupine Prov. Forest
- R.M. of Mountain including Mafeking and Birch River
- Westgate Red Deer Lake and Barrows
Environment Canada meteorologists are tracking a severe thunderstorm capable of producing very strong wind gusts, up to nickel-size hail and heavy rain.
They say that, in and around Mafeking, Baden, and Powell, heavy downpours are likely to cause flash floods and water pooling on roads and that intense lightning is likely with any thunderstorm that develops.
In addition, Environment Canada has also issued a severe thunderstorm watch for many communities in the Swan River - Duck Mountain - Porcupine Provincial Forest area.
They say that conditions in those communities are favourable for the development of severe thunderstorms that may be capable of producing heavy rain and that these storms will be slow moving and will produce locally heavy rainfall amounts.
