—@HeySetoIt's all just getting a bit much for some, with weather watches and alerts happening nearly every day. But despite the plea, we'll continue to let you know when the weather is most foul.

—@BenRutgersThe severe thunderstorm warning for Calgary was lifted shortly after 5 p.m. but a watch remains in effect. In other words, don't bank on sunshine for the rest of the night.
