Severe thunderstorms moved through parts of Alberta on Friday, July 
13, 2018. The severe storms generally moved eastward in the region 
between Edmonton and Olds during the late afternoon and evening 
hours. Large hail was the main threat with these storms; there were 
frequent reports of golf ball sized hail received at the Prairie and

moved east, an elongated gust front moved quickly south giving 
strong wind gusts to many regions in central and southern Alberta
