ORIGINAL:

After a storm lit up the sky Tuesday night and had lakeside residents bracing for damaging winds, another storm is unfortunately in the works.

Environment Canada has issued a severe thunderstorm watch for the entire Okanagan Valley.

害羞草研究所淐onditions are favourable for the development of severe thunderstorms that may be capable of producing strong wind gusts, large hail and heavy rain,害羞草研究所 writes Environment Canada.

害羞草研究所淟arge hail can damage property and cause injury. Strong wind gusts can toss loose objects, damage weak buildings, break branches off trees and overturn large vehicles. Intense lightning is likely with any thunderstorm that develops. Heavy downpours can cause flash floods and water pooling on roads. Lightning kills and injures Canadians every year.
