A meteorologist with Environment Canada says severe weather season just getting started.

Brian Proctor explains that we can expect much more weather like what we saw over the weekend, which included funnel clouds, bursts of rain, hail of all sizes, and wind gusting up to 120 kilometres per hour.

“We can’t think that we’re out of summer severe weather season yet. We’ve got another six weeks to go, at least… before things start to ease off in early- to mid-August. We’ve got a long way to go yet.”

He says although there haven’t been any confirmed tornado touchdowns as of yet, there were funnel clouds reported in Bredenbury, Wilkie, Carnduff, Leader, and Eston. He expects more reports to come in throughout the day.

Rainfall amounts were very localized, so Proctor says weather stations may not have picked anything up, however the most rain, at 41.4 millimeters, was recorded southwest of Prince Albert.

Hail ranging from pea to golf ball size was reported, as well. Pea-sized hail was reported in Marsden; Turtleford had marble-sized hail; golf ball sized hail in Neilburg; quarter-to-golf ball sized hail in Rabbit Lake; and marble hail in St. Brieux.

Wind gusts of 120 kilometres per hour were recorded in Leader.

He adds that the weather will be calm for a couple days looking forward, but don’t get too comfortable.

“We should be in for a much more settled couple of days before thinks start to pick up in intensity as we move towards the middle and the end of the work week.”
