MANITOBA: Significant Risk for Isolated Severe Thunderstorms This Evening & Overnight (Wed, June 29, 2022)

TONIGHT & OVERNIGHT (Wed, June 29, 2022): We’re carefully watching a risk for significant severe thunderstorms that will move east into Manitoba from Saskatchewan this evening and perhaps into the overnight hours. Damaging wind gusts, very large hail, flooding, frequent lightning, and a risk for tornadoes will be possible with the strongest storms that develop. There is also some risk for these storms that are develop further south this afternoon and evening in the yellow (2) regions of the map but based on model data, the strongest risk will be somewhere within in the red (4) and orange (3) areas.

Environment Canada has also issued a forecast map for the risks today, which includes a “high” risk area in orange that covers much of populated Manitoba, all the way to Winnipeg. It mentions a risk for 100-120km/h damaging wind gusts, 3-5cm hail, and the risk for a tornado.

Environment Canada writes “…There will be a risk of severe thunderstorms this afternoon over Southern Manitoba, with all modes of severe weather possible...” “...there will be a conditional risk for supercells across Southern Manitoba later today.”
