MANITOBA: Thunderstorm Forecast for Sunday, July 23, 2023

/

FORECAST DISCUSSION

For Sunday afternoon and early evening, there's a slight risk of severe thunderstorms in parts of Southwestern Manitoba. However, we want to highlight that this risk is conditional on storm development, which remains questionable at best. Some models suggest only a few isolated storms may overcome the inhibition present across Southern Manitoba, so this risk is very isolated.

⛈️ Potential Threats

  • Hail: Be prepared for the possibility of large hailstones, up to the size of toonies, which can cause damage to vehicles and structures.

  • Wind Gusts: Strong wind gusts of up to 100 km/h are possible, which may result in tree damage and power outages.

  • Heavy Rainfall: Some areas could experience heavy rainfall, leading to localized flooding concerns.

🌪️ Tornado Risk

While the overall tornado risk is low, we can't completely rule out the chance of an isolated tornado. If you see rotating clouds or funnel clouds, please take immediate precautions and seek shelter.
