A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for Edmonton, St. Albert and Sherwood Park. 

Environment Canada issued the warning Wednesday at noon stating that conditions in the area were favourable for the development of thunderstorms.

Severe thunderstorms are capable of producing strong wind and heavy rain. There is also the risk of lightning. Environment Canada suggests going indoors “when thunder roars.” 

Thunderstorms are expected to develop in the foothills this afternoon and move east later in the day. 

A severe thunderstorm watch is also in effect for other areas in central Alberta.
