Widespread thunderstorm activity is expected across Saskatchewan on Thursday. We have adjusted our forecast to include a more southern slight risk zone encompassing Assiniboia, Moose Jaw and Watrous. The isolate serves threat has also been expanded to include more parts of the northwest.

The main concern will be damaging wind gusts in excess of 100 km/h, but large hail could also be an issue with these storms expected to develop along the US border during the afternoon and track northeastward into the province. As for the tornado risk, the main storm mode appears to be more linear compared to isolated discrete storms which would make tornadoes less likely, however, an isolated tornado can’t be ruled out.
