THE CANADIAN PRESS/Mark BlinchEnvironment Canada is launching a new, more targeted thunderstorm and tornado warning system. The department says the new system is meant to address "alert fatigue" and cut down on the number of weather alerts Canadians get on their phones. The new system will target alerts specifically to the area that forecasters think will be hit, rather than issue a broad warning across a large area. Other alerts like heat warnings and thunderstorm watches will still have broad alert areas.
