Significant risk for severe thunderstorms today (Sunday, June 23, 2024) across a large swath of populated Saskatchewan. Storms should develop west of Saskatoon this afternoon and begin to push to the east, northeast. That same line of storms will extend further north, perhaps up towards the North Battleford and Prince Albert regions.
Another cluster of supercells is expected to develop east of Swift Current late afternoon or perhaps in the early evening hours, which will eventually push east and southeast towards the Manitoba and international borders.
The main risks are very large hail, perhaps 3-6cm at the high-end with strong damaging wind gusts reaching upwards of 115km/h or higher. Isolated flooding and frequent lightning are also possible. Last but certainly not least, we could see a couple or perhaps several tornadoes and they may have the chance to become strong and long lasting with this particular environment and strong wind shear that we’re expecting.
