More stormy weather on tap after Sunday hail clogs Alberta streets
Large hail pelted Canada's hail alley on Sunday, but the stormy weather isn't done yet as Monday sees a renewed storm risk in Alberta.
Sunday brought stormy weather to Alberta, resulting in plenty of photos being posted on social media. The province once again lived up to its name of Canada's hail alley, as large hail battered crop fields and flooded streets.
The thunderstorms developed off of the southern foothills late Sunday afternoon and quickly turned severe, making drivers across southern Alberta have to contend with flooded streets from the heavy rains and hail.

One severe-warned storm in particular, south of Pincher Creek and west of Cardston, dropped hail as big as tennis balls, according to reports.
As images surfaced of streets across the region turning white from the thick hail, looking more like winter roads than summer, images also began to pop up of trees with shredded leaves and battered crops.

Unfortunately, the storm risk will continue through Monday across Alberta.
Monday sees a renewed storm risk in Alberta
Storms began to fire up early Monday morning west of Calgary and will continue to trek eastward over the course of the day.
More storms are expected to develop off of the foothills late in the afternoon, following the morning's storm path.
By the evening and early overnight hours we could see storms south of Calgary begin to intensify toward severe criteria. Folks could see another round of heavy rains and large hail with the storms. Localized flooding, crop damage, and tree damage are also hazards to look out for.
Clearsholm, Lethbridge, and Medicine Hat will all likely be in the path of these thunderstorms. Folks in the area should keep an eye on local weather alerts and watch the radar for incoming severe weather.
Here's a look at some of the social media posts from Sunday's storms.
