There is a chance that a thunderstorm may hit Foothills County today.
According to Warning Preparedness Meteorologist with Environment & Climate Change Canada, Alysa Pederson, a thunderstorm may move across Southern Alberta today.
"It's not a common thing for September, but it's absolutely possible right into October, November," Pederson explains. "But, yeah, there is a risk of thunderstorms in the Foothills of Alberta today and extending eastwards across southern Alberta towards Medicine Hat as well."
Pederson says that they aren't expecting the thunderstorms to be too bad.
"What the system is looking like right now, they're just kind of your air mass thunderstorms. Might be some lighting strikes associated with agitated cumulus clouds. So, they're not looking to be too significant, but with thunderstorms, you get lighting and there's severity risk with that as well."
Other than the risk of thunderstorms today, there isn't much to look out for, weather-wise, until the weather cools off on Thursday night.
Pederson adds that in September, it is normal for the temperatures to fluctuate from day to day, with the normal temperature for this time of year being around the 16-degree mark.
"So, that's what it looks like for the weekend here coming up. September is a little bit of a roller coaster month when it comes to temperatures and weather. It's always a good idea to be prepared for changing weather."
