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

📰 ‼️ **BREAKING** ‼️ 📰

Two tornadoes have officially been CONFIRMED yesterday across Southeastern Manitoba. The first occurring near Sperling, Manitoba and then a second one occurring near Niverville.

That brings Manitoba’s total for tornadoes so far this year to 3! 🌪️

Southern Manitoba's wild week of weather continues. We started the week with the earliest 100 F (37.8 C) temperature reading in Canadian history. This morning, we have temperatures near 0 C in western Manitoba and perhaps even the odd flake of snow!

We’ve received several reports of tornadoes with the storms in southern Manitoba yesterday evening.

We are following up. A storm damage survey may be required, but to this point no damage has been reported.

Please send any reports to @ntp-reports.bsky.social or submit info at uwo.ca/ntp. #MBstorm

It’s so unusual hot, like really HOT…
But back to usual May long weekend weather with potential snow, because it’s a May Long tradition to have crappy weather!
We honestly need some substantial precipitation to help with the fire situation.
Happy Victory Day weekend!

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.

That’s awesome 😂 😂

😭 🪦

I just want to use the ones the government built lol, Honestly the US is doing a better job keeping their radars operational with all of the cuts to NOAA and the NWS than Canada is without cuts. 😢

It’s honestly kind of sad.

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.

Winnipeg has set a new daily record high for May 12. As of 3 PM, the temperature had reached 34.1°C, surpassing the previous record of 32.8°C set in 1958. There's another chance to break a record tomorrow—the May 13 record stands at 33.3°C, set in 1900.

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.

Here’s the coordinates ⬇️

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!
