A weather summary report issued by Environment Canada on Sunday said parts of the province saw tennis-ball-sized hail.

The Barrier Lake region, roughly 50 kilometres southeast of Tisdale, measured chunks of hail around 6.0 cm.

According to the release, the chunks were enough to crack windshields.
