There is a strong severe threat for Western Saskatchewan extending into Central Saskatchewan on Saturday afternoon and evening. Isolated storms are expected to develop in Alberta or just across the border in Saskatchewan around Lloydminster.
As the storms continue to track eastward, the environment will be ripe for these storms to present significant severe threats with the biggest concern being up to tennis ball-sized hail and 115+ km/h wind gusts. There is also a tornado threat (as discussed below) with these storms.
The strong severe threat will diminish further to the south but the slight and isolated risk is still quite expansive and includes much of Saskatchewan except for the southwestern part of the province along the American border and northeastern along the Manitoba border.
The focus for the tornado risk will be to the northwest including Lloydminster, Meadow Lake, North Battleford, Saskatoon and Prince Albert where we believe one or two tornadoes are possible. An isolated tornado risk covers the surrounding regions such as Kindersley, Regina and Yorkton.
Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop in parts of Western Saskatchewan on Friday afternoon. These storms have the potenital to become severe in the southwest part of the province with quarter-sized hail and 90 km/h wind gusts being the main threat. Funnel clouds and maybe a localized landspout tornado can’t be ruled out either. Thunderstorm activity will continue into the evening although the severe risk will diminish after sunset.
Thunderstorms are currently not expected across Saskatchewan on Thursday.
A few storms may develop along the American and Manitoba border during the afternoon on Wednesday. They should be fairly localized and weak although there is a questionable isolated chance for severe storms along the Manitoba border before they move out the province..
Non-severe thunderstorms are possible across much of Eastern Saskatchewan which mentions the potential for large hail and damaging wind gusts
There is the risk of thunderstorms in Eastern Saskatchewan during the afternoon and evening on Monday. A few of these storms may reach severe levels, especially near the Manitoba border. The main risks include 90 km/h wind gusts and up to quarter-sized hail. Funnel clouds are also possible which in rare cases, can touch down and become a landspout tornado.
Isolated non-severe thunderstorms are possible on Sunday throughout Western Saskatchewan and extending into the northeast. The main risk will be during the afternoon and evening. We may also see some funnel clouds which is rare cases, may touch down and become a landspout tornado.
