While many were expecting the thunderstorms to move through the area last night, things held off a bit. Early this morning, many in Weyburn were awoken by a storm coming into the area. Then, despite the warmer temperatures, the skies remained cloudy for the morning, bringing more rain.

The system responsible for the clouds and precipitation has also prompted Environment Canada to issue a severe thunderstorm watch for Weyburn and the surrounding areas. This means the conditions are favourable for the development of a thunderstorm. The system is expected to produce storms with high winds, rain and hail. 

The forecast from Environment Canada is calling for showers throughout the afternoon with more thundershowers, and the risk of a severe thunderstorm before skies start to clear out late this evening.
