KAMLOOPS — As of 4:45pm Tuesday, May 20th this thunderstorm watch has been discontinued

EARLIER: Environment Canada has issued a severe thunderstorm watch for the South Thompson and Nicola regions.

According to Forecaster Cindy Yu, conditions have developed that are favourable for brief downpours of heavy rain and gusty winds.

“With every thunderstorm we get we can expect high wind gusts. Winds can be around 60 to 70 km/h in terms of the peak gusts,” says Yu.

Yu says hail may develop as well, but that is a less dominant feature of the storm.
