Sunday is set to unleash a potent severe thunderstorm risk across much of Southwestern Saskatchewan. Storms are anticipated to affect this region from the afternoon hours into the early evening.
The atmospheric conditions are ripe for these storms to intensify and turn severe, with the primary threats being up to golf ball-sized hail, 100 km/h wind gusts, and heavy rainfall.
Our focus is on the Shaunavon, Swift Current, and Assiniboia regions, where we have identified a 'strong' severe risk. Here, isolated supercells could emerge and track southeastward into America by the late afternoon and early evening. These storms have the of producing large hail and perhaps even one or two tornadoes.
As for the surrounding regions along the southern part of the Alberta border and Moose Jaw, a 'slight' risk of severe thunderstorms remains on the table.
