It is important to remember that thunderstorms can develop quickly and with little warning.  Lightning can also be present in significant amounts even when NexStorm is not tracking any structured thunderstorms.  Seek proper shelter well in advance of approaching lightning whenever possible.  Environment Canada has a good page discussing lightning safety.  A link to Environment Canada is provided at the bottom of every page.

Note:  There can be thunderstorms close to or above Saskatoon without triggering a warning.  The warning criteria is set for more severe storms.
