There is a slight risk of severe thunderstorms across South-central and Southeastern Saskatchewan on Saturday. Isolated storms are expected to develop along the international border during the afternoon and continue to expand northward. Based on the environment, these storms could have the potential to produce 100+ km/h wind gusts, toonie-sized hail and an isolated tornado can’t be ruled out.

It’s possible we may have to introduce a ‘strong’ risk for severe storms in the Weyburn-Regina corridor as some models indicate a very strong environment with wind gusts and large hail. This could mean a higher tornado threat as well. However, we aren’t convinced just yet and will wait to consult the updated data on Friday evening.
