Environment Canada has issued a thunderstorm watch for Prince George, with conditions favourable for the development of 'severe thunderstorms.' 

The weather service says the storm could produce strong wind gusts, large hail and heavy rains. 

"Large hail can damage property and cause injury. Lightning kills and injures Canadians every year," the statement reads. "Severe thunderstorm watches are issued when atmospheric conditions are favourable for the development of thunderstorms that could produce one or more of the following: large hail, damaging winds, torrential rainfall."

Remember, when thunder roars, go indoors!
