A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect for several parts of central and southern Saskatchewan on Saturday, including Moose Jaw and Saskatoon. According to an alert from Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), conditions are favourable for the development of dangerous thunderstorms which may produce strong wind gusts, heavy rain, and damaging hail. The weather agency advises that some thunderstorms may become severe and advises people to go indoors if they hear thunder. Wind gusts up to 100 km/h and toonie-sized hail may be possible threats with these storms, ECCC said. ECCC continues to place more areas under the watch as the thunderstorm moves across the province. Some areas have also been issued a severe thunderstorm warning. Several parts of southwestern Saskatchewan were also under a severe thunderstorm watch or warning on Friday.
