A possibility of rain and thunderstorms is in the forecast for Moose Jaw for most of the week.

Terri Lang is a meteorologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada.

"We're in a bit of an unsettled pattern right now," she explained. "We have a lot of moisture coming up from the south and we also have some heat building in. So a good combination of heat, unsettled moist air and you have a good combination to create showers and thundershowers. It looks like that will continue through most of the week but as a big ridge of upper high pressure builds in after the weekend, it looks like things should settle out a little bit more."

Lang notes the big thing that people will notice is the humidity. 

"We went from being really quite dry to more humid now after we got some of that rain. Humidity is up and of course that makes people feel warmer than it actually is."

She adds the higher humidity will keep the overnight lows a little bit warmer as well.

When talking about thunderstorms, most have the potential to create localized heavy rains and small hail. 

"The biggest danger out of any thunderstorm is lightning," said Lang. "Lightening kills and injures more Canadians every year than tornadoes do but there seems to be more of a focus on tornados. Every thunderstorm is dangerous for that reason. Towards the end of the week, it looks like Thursday/Friday, the pattern looks like it will be a bit more favourable for the risk of severe thunderstorms."

Thunderstorm and tornado season starts as soon as we get into May when the heat starts to build in.

"June, on average, usually records the most number of tornados but we know it can be anywhere from May to September where tornados are possible across the Prairies," concluded Lang.
