The busy weather week continues across Saskatchewan with yet another expansive severe weather risk on Saturday. Our focus for this round of storms will shift more to the northwest around the Kindersley, Saskatoon and Prince Albert regions.

Beginning with isolated cells including the potential for supercells during the late afternoon and early evening. These storms will primarily present a large hail (up to toonie to even golf ball size) and damaging wind gust threat. As we head later into the evening, the threat will shift more to the strong wind gusts as the storms merge into a line and begin to ‘bow’ out.

TORNADO RISK

With the risk of supercells, also comes the potential for tornadoes. Based on the environment, we believe that one or two tornadoes are possible in a zone including Kindersley, Outlook, Saskatoon, Warman, Watrous, Humboldt and Melfort.

Much of Central Saskatchewan has an isolated risk of a tornado, but it’s questionable. The tornado threat will be highest around the dinner hour with it diminishing later in the evening.
