UPDATE: The severe thunderstorm watch has been lifted for the Swift Current area.

Swift Current hasn't seen the whacky weather some other nearby cities have, but the city and its surrounding area is under a severe thunderstorm watch.

Today heavy doses of hail caused a school bus to get stuck in Moose Jaw and a semi to get stuck in Medicine Hat.
