Severe weather possible across the region Friday night

Some significant weather could be affecting local areas this evening. 

A Tornado Warning has been issued for communities including Wakaw, Bruno, Alvena, and more. 

“Environment Canada meteorologists are tracking a severe thunderstorm that is possibly producing a tornado,” an alert from Environment and Climate Change Canada read just before 5 p.m. “Damaging winds, large hail, and locally intense rainfall are also possible.” 

The northeast is under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch, along with a yellow heat warning and special weather statement due to the hot, humid weather expected this weekend.
