Conducive conditions for severe storms remain at play on the Prairies – The Weather Network

A similar line of storms will form later Saturday afternoon in the near vicinity, feeding on impressive energy in Minnesota. That will result in the greater severe storm potential to remain south of the border.

Storm threat lingers on Sunday

The setup for storms on Sunday will reappear along the foothills in Alberta as a trigger and a developing front should move across southern Saskatchewan, scooping up some good moisture.

The outflow from the afternoon storms will likely trigger unorganized secondary cells later on Sunday.
