Regina weather: Severe thunderstorm watch lifted [Video]

A severe thunderstorm watch which was issued for the City of Regina on Friday morning has since been lifted. 

According to Environment Canada, a weak cold front that was moving across the province from the west created favourable conditions for a storm capable of producing damaging wind gusts, large hail and heavy rain.

The severe storm watch comprised a region as far south as Regina, running east through Fort Qu’Appelle to Esterhazy, and as far north as Nipawin.

Saskatoon and several other communities in central Saskatchewan are still under a severe thunderstorm watch. 

Some mid-northern communities like Waskesiu, in the Prince Albert National Park, were hit with a storm on Thursday evening that dropped golf-ball sized hail.
