Sunday storm risk bubbles up in Alberta, Saskatchewan
Ridging south of the border has pulled away from the Rockies and is now shifting the heat onto the central Prairies.
That transition is allowing the low that formed over B.C. on Saturday to move into Alberta, continuing to strengthen as it treks east.
A developing front will be the needed trigger to spark any strong storms from Edmonton, Alta., to south-central Saskatchewan.
The main hazards will be large hail, strong wind gusts up to 90 km/h and heavy downpours.
The incoming rain will continue to add to the wettest summer on record for Edmonton, which is currently sitting at 562 mm of rainfall (approximately 350 mm above normal).
A developing cold front will then cut into the heat across central Prairies to start the week, noticeably dropping temperatures.
Daytime high temperature drop from Sunday to Monday
