Widespread thunderstorm activity is expected across Saskatchewan on Thursday. Based on the environment, we believe there is a slight risk of severe storms in Central Saskatchewan including Moose Jaw, Outlook, Watrous and Wynyard.

The main concern will be damaging wind gusts in excess of 100 km/h, but large hail could also be an issue. 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.

Isolated severe risk exists for much of Southern Saskatchewan with up to 90 km/h wind gusts and quarter-sized hail possible.
