p0rnoPuppyI hope everyone gets to see some beautiful motherships, picturesque rainbows, takes some shelfies, a danger noodle in a field near no homes.
A bust today isn't a bad thing, it means you got to do what you love and no one lost their homes or worse.

MoistLineWX@SophieMiller_04 Yo blud, the first picture is for today which is a risk upgrade from yesterday's forecast for today which is the second picture. (They have dates issued and forecast time in the legend) also Canada uses km/h not mph. Divide by 1.609 for mph conversion #abstormSat, 18 Jul 2026 17:39:27 GMT
KarlieMildraed#abstorm has gone Extreme. Wow. A Red Warning. Keep your Radars on the ready. Take care all. #yegwx (Also hydration with Coco water is key. Electrolytes important too.)Sat, 18 Jul 2026 17:35:06 GMT

Going to cap off my chasecation with my highest profile chase day to date.
A rare EXTREME risk is in place just north-along the Trans-Canada/Hwy 16 between Edmonton & Lloydminster, where a HIGHLY volatile environment/set up for significant severe weather is anticipated https://t.co/te5AC1wQBpSat, 18 Jul 2026 17:28:27 GMT

HunterMarkewichLooks like the low level jet might be propagating those storms west of cold Lake southeastward, I don’t think they will throw out lots of outflow, but they can even evolve into the surface base to air later along the front and have some tornado potential.

Slummer90Morning Stony Plain balloon confirms a massive cap (CIN 366 J/kg) suppressing early development, letting the sun cook the surface. Crucially, low cloud bases (LCL 1266m) & heavy low-level wind spin (SRH 214) mean prime ingredients for tornadoes. 2/2 #yegwx #ABstormSat, 18 Jul 2026 16:56:49 GMT
Slummer90HISTORIC RISK: Environment Canada has issued a rare EXTREME (Red) T-Storm Risk for central AB. Models are signaling 3000+ J/kg MLCAPE nearly unheard of for our region. Deep layer shear + a negatively tilted trough = setup for long-track tornadic supercells. 1/2 #yegwx #ABstorm https://t.co/sOiopOMcllSat, 18 Jul 2026 16:56:48 GMT
MorganLaidlerEnvironment Canada's smoke forecast is not good for Alberta, at all.
Starting overnight Sunday into Monday wildfire smoke from the north will be dragged down into northern and central Alberta, it gets really bad for central on Tuesday morning.

aero_enjoyerNot a official product... refer to ECCC for thunderstorm outlooks...
My personal severe outlook for today, 7/18/2026 in the Prairies. Note that PASPC mentions long-tracked tornadoes, 130 km/h wind gusts and 7 cm hail today.

BadWeatherKyleToday's environment looks supportive of severe weather with all hazards in east-central Alberta.
Wildfire smoke may temper destabilization somewhat, and make storm spotting trickier in reduced visibility. #abstorm https://t.co/0MhAZCXrmuSat, 18 Jul 2026 16:14:20 GMT

MorganLaidlerHorizontal convective rolls (otherwise know as cloud streets), they’re a type of arcus cloud.
They’re caused by when cool dry air moves over a warmer surface.
You could even see them on radar.
Taken in west Edmonton around 7am.
