CommentsPrairie Provinces, July 18-20, 2016. Southern regions of the Prairie provinces were overwhelmed by severe storms after weeks of bad weather. A storm system entered northward into southern Alberta where isolated thunderstorms developed along the Alberta foothills. On June 18, the storm eventually grew larger impacting Calgary, Medicine Hat and Dunmore with hail, heavy rain and strong winds as well as tornado warnings. On June 19, the storm system moved across Saskatchewan and Manitoba producing hail and prompting even more tornado warnings. In Saskatchewan, near softball sized hail pelted Stewart Valley and Davison, where a tornado briefly touched down resulting in minimal damages. Parts of southern Manitoba received less severe hail, however a more severe tornado touched down in Long Plain First Nation where there was extensive damages.
