MANITOBA: Thunderstorm Forecast for Wednesday, July 26, 2023
/
FORECAST DISCUSSION
Wednesday is gearing up to be a day of widespread thunderstorm activity sweeping across much of Southern Manitoba during the afternoon and evening hours. Our attention is focused on the environment, which signals a potential for some storms to escalate into severe territory, especially in the Interlake region. There, isolated supercells are possible, posing a heightened risk of all severe threats.
Threats include very large hail, reaching up to the size of golf balls, alongside 100 km/h wind gusts and the risk of flash flooding. Furthermore, one or two tornadoes are also possible.
Winnipeg finds itself walking a precarious line, precariously balancing on the edge of the impending storm's path. As of now, the Winnipeg area is assigned a 'slight' severe risk, with large hail and strong wind gusts the primary concerns. An isolated tornado possibility cannot be dismissed.
