The tornado warnings issued for Yellowhead county have been dropped by Environment Canada, however severe thunderstorm warnings are still in the effect. Earlier in the night, Environment Canada issued a critical alert saying a rotating thunderstorm — that could produce a tornado — was travelling northeast of Edson. "This dangerous storm is likely producing very large hail, and may produce a tornado over the next 30 minutes," the alert read. Severe thunderstorm warnings are still in effect for Westlock, Barrhead, Athabasca, Whitecourt, Edson, Fox Creek and Swan Hills. Even though the tornado warning has ended Morisseau said the thunderstorm that remains is quite powerful.
