Tornado Threat Looms Over Ontario and Manitoba This Sunday
Hey everyone, just a heads-up about some pretty serious weather moving in this Sunday across parts of northwestern Ontario and southern Manitoba. If you’ve got plans or travel coming up, you’ll definitely want to stay alert and keep an eye on updates.
According to The Weather Network, Sunday’s shaping up to bring multiple rounds of severe thunderstorms through the day. We’re not just talking about your typical summer storm, either. There’s a risk—though not guaranteed—of one or even two tornadoes developing as the system moves through. It’s not common, but it’s definitely something to take seriously.

Now, how’s this all going to play out? Early Sunday morning, between about 8 a.m. and noon, a strong line of storms called a mesoscale convective system, or MCS, is expected to form in the U.S. and push into northwestern Ontario. That could hit areas like Thunder Bay with strong winds and heavy rain right out of the gate.
Then later in the day, between mid-afternoon and early evening, another line of severe thunderstorms is expected to develop. This one has the potential to bring large hail, damaging wind gusts, intense rainfall, and yes—there’s a chance one or two tornadoes could spin up, especially closer to the international border. Areas like Fort Frances and Atikokan are particularly being watched for rotating storm cells.
The atmosphere is a bit tricky right now. Wildfire smoke across the region could play a role in whether or not the conditions become just unstable enough for tornadoes to actually form. So, while there’s some uncertainty about exactly when and where the worst of the weather will hit, the risk is real enough that people are being urged to stay weather-aware throughout the day.
Southern Manitoba—including Winnipeg—could also see severe storms firing up by Sunday afternoon as a low-pressure system moves in. There, the bigger concerns are large hail and heavy downpours, but again, conditions are unpredictable.
So, if you're in any of these regions, make sure you've got a plan. Know where to go if a tornado warning is issued and have alerts turned on. Stay close to local radar, check for updates, and take any warnings seriously. It's always better to be a little over-prepared than caught off guard. Stay safe out there!
