I am reviewing my photos from the July 3rd Storm Chase across far SE SK/SW MB and I came across this photo where it looks like a large funnel or tornado could have touched down briefly. Photo was taken at 8:52pm NE of Tilston, MB looking Westward

Satellite Imagery from SE MB right now.
Circled in orange is a current area of interest.

It looks like thunderstorms may be forming from the fires burning NE of Bird River.. Either that, or the fires are escalating and smoke is shooting up 10k-20kft.

Impressive.. but not in a good way!

It's another SCORCHING HOT day out there, specifically for our friends down across the RRV and Southeastern Manitoba.

Temperatures will once again be nearing highs of up to +37 °C this afternoon for the area circled in white on the map!

Good Morning, everyone.

The daylight reveals on the Satellite Imagery that wildfires continue to burn out of control this morning and with breezy conditions today and more extreme heat, these fires could get worse before they get better later this week.

CASFW + CASWL ⬇️ again…

This is a concerning trend we’ve been seeing. These radars aren’t that old to be acting this way. These are relatively new systems.

The Canadian Weather Radar Replacement Program began in 2017.

The project was completed by 2023,
with all 33 new radars installed.

SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING

A couple isolated supercells are likely to form in far eastern SK in the late afternoon, passing into the greater Swan River area later in the evening.

Although the threat appears to be quite low, a weak tornado or two cannot be ruled out.

Possible weak spin up tornado South of Brandon, Manitoba earlier this evening shortly after 7:00pm 👀 🌪️

Kind of missed the larger circulation of dust as I had to pull over safely first before videoing.

Good Afternoon, everyone.

If anyone has planted anything outside already, please be aware that there will be a risk of Frost tonight into early tomorrow morning as skies clear and winds calm overnight.

Good Morning, everyone.

Here are my Lightning photos I shot last night around 10:00pm just Southeast of Brandon as a line of non-severe thunderstorms moved through the area.

It was nice to get out and enjoy the first, of hopefully many, chases this Season!

Good Afternoon, everyone. 👋

Western and Southwestern Manitoba stands a chance for a couple of THUNDERSTORMS this afternoon into the early evening hours. ⛈️

The area circled has the best chance for a few storms.

The Northern Lights made a swift appearance last night North of Brandon as a fast, yet potent solar wind enhancement impacted our planet.

Hey, everyone!

How's everyone doing?

Good Afternoon, everyone. 👋

Check out the Satellite Imagery loop from today!

You can clearly see the blob of white across the landscape of far SW Manitoba and SE Saskatchewan. With the rise of the temperatures throughout the day you can see the snow area shrinking.

Well… It turns out that temperatures didn’t quite reach the mid-twenties this afternoon across far Southwestern Manitoba.

Melita came close!

They were Manitoba’s “Hot Spot” today at 5:00pm with a temperature of +22 °C! 🌡️

Most models data is still indicating the chance for a messy spring system to impact far Southern Manitoba later this week...

Details are sparse as of now but we wanted to give you the heads up!
