MANITOBA: Thunderstorm Forecast for Saturday, May 27, 2023

FRIDAY PM UPDATE: No changes to the forecast are needed based on the latest data.

There is a slight risk of severe storms in Southwestern Manitoba on Saturday. Isolated storms are expected to develop over Saskatchewan during the afternoon and may track into the western part of Manitoba during the late afternoon into the evening.

These storms could bring up to 100 km/h wind gusts, toonie-sized hail and an isolated tornado can’t be ruled out. The strongest risk will be primarily right along the Saskatchewan border including Virden, Russell and Roblin as the environment is expected to quickly become less favourable to the east.
