Environment Canada lifted a yellow warning for severe weather Tuesday evening after a storm rolled through parts of southern Alberta.
The agency said damaging wind gusts, large hail and heavy rain were possible as the storm moved from Claresholm to areas near Lethbridge and Medicine Hat.
The initial warning, issued earlier Tuesday afternoon, was for a dangerous thunderstorm capable of producing baseball-sized hail and destroying buildings and trees.
