There is the potential for scattered thunderstorms to develop during the afternoon on Tuesday in Southeastern Saskatchewan. These storms have the possibility of becoming severe before tracking into Manitoba. However, it's important to note that the latest models suggest some lingering rain earlier in the day, which may impact the potential for storm development later in the afternoon. As a result, there is a possibility that the forecasted thunderstorms may not materialize as expected.
If the storms do develop and intensify, there is a risk of severe weather, particularly in locations such as Yorkton, Melville, and Moosomin, where we have put a slight risk on our forecast. The main threats associated with these storms include large hail, ranging from toonie to ping pong ball-sized, strong wind gusts reaching speeds of up to 100 km/h, and localized flash flooding. An isolated tornado can’t be ruled out.
