Environment Canada has issued another severe thunderstorm watch for the Okanagan Valley.
“Conditions today and tonight are favourable for the development of severe thunderstorms that may be capable of producing strong wind gusts, hail and heavy rain,” says the weather service.
The alert comes after a similar one on Sunday night. That one ended at 1 a.m. Monday morning, but another came just eight hours later at 9 a.m.

“Lightning kills and injures Canadians every year. Remember, when thunder roars, go indoors!”
