Environment Canada has ended a tornado warning for parts of central Alberta Friday afternoon.
The warning was issued at 5:34 p.m. for parts of Parkland and Yellowhead counties west of Edmonton. The alert no longer covered Parkland County by 5:49 p.m. By 6:27 p.m. the alert was cancelled entirely.
The warning said thunderstorms produced conditions for a potential tornado near Wabamun Lake, and were moving eastward at 40 km/h.
The warning came after the weather agency put out a slew of tornado warnings over the past three days. One of those tornados touched down in Dillberry Lake Provincial Park Wednesday evening, sending three people to the hospital.
An Environment Canada meteorologist told CBC News that Alberta can expect more tornado related activity in the next six weeks.
