CTV News Edmonton Meteorologist Josh Classen says the severe storm is on its way out of Edmonton but rain could continue later this evening.

5:20pm - Severe storm pushing out of #yeg and rolling over Fort Saskatchewan. (Strong gusts, HEAVY downpours & hail). Could see a few more showers slide into parts of Edmonton in the next hour or 2. But, the worst of the stormy weather is over. #yegwx pic.twitter.com/JRA1pA09ds
