The City of Airdrie along with other parts of Rocky View County and Mountain View County are under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch this afternoon (July 12).

Environment Canada has issued the watch that covers much of western Alberta.  

They say the storm is capable of producing golf ball sized hail and winds in excess of 90 kmh.  

It might be a good idea to put your car in the garage and cover up plants in your garden to prevent any possible damage.
