Weather maps show a small amount of rain coming through shortly, but I think it's safe to say that we're all safe this time.

Tell that to Calgary. I was there for the Stampede a few years back. Hot and humid all week, then one afternoon the temperature just DROPPED and we had a massive hail storm for an hour. That night back to heat and humidity.
