Canada's national weather service is yet again warning Saskatchewan residents of the threat of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes across the province.

Canada’s national weather service is yet again warning Saskatchewan residents of the threat of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes across the province.

Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has issued a plethora of watches, spanning from the province’s southwest corner to north of Nipawin.

“A hot, humid, and unstable airmass will lead to the development of thunderstorms during the day over Saskatchewan. Some of these thunderstorms may become severe,” the watch read.

“These thunderstorms will be slow moving, which can lead to localized flooding due to heavy rain.”

The majority of the alerts from ECCC were issued for the threat of thunderstorms.

Regina, Saskatoon, Moose Jaw and Yorkton were included in the watch area.

However, thunderstorm watches were not the only alerts for the province.
