Tornado Warnings Lifted but Storm Threat Still Looms Over Manitoba
Hey everyone, just wanted to give you a quick but important update on what’s been happening with the weather here in Manitoba. Over the past day, we've had some pretty intense weather alerts — and although the tornado warnings have officially ended , we're not completely in the clear just yet. Parts of the province remain under a thunderstorm watch , and it’s something we all need to stay alert about.

This kind of weather shift isn’t entirely unexpected during the summer months in the Prairies, but the pace and power of the systems moving through have been unsettling. Environment Canada had initially issued the tornado warning following the development of severe thunderstorms capable of producing rotation — which is often a precursor to funnel clouds or full tornado formation. Thankfully, that warning has since been lifted. But the conditions that caused it — high instability in the atmosphere, heat, and moisture — haven’t disappeared. They’re still creating the potential for severe weather, especially in southern and central Manitoba.
Several communities, including areas around Winnipeg and the Interlake region, are now under thunderstorm watches , which means storms are possible and could bring damaging winds, hail, and torrential rainfall. These watches can quickly escalate into warnings, so it’s important to keep your devices nearby with emergency alerts turned on.
What makes this even more concerning is how unpredictable the situation remains. Storm cells can develop rapidly, and while one area may stay dry, just a few kilometers away there could be heavy downpours or even more severe conditions. People planning to travel, camp, or be outdoors should really think twice and monitor the latest forecasts closely.
As we continue through the summer, it’s also a strong reminder of how extreme our weather patterns are becoming. Between heatwaves, sudden downpours, and now tornado activity, it’s clear that climate shifts are affecting our day-to-day in very real ways.
So, bottom line: while we’ve dodged a major bullet with the tornado warnings ending, we still need to stay vigilant. Keep your eyes on the sky, stay connected to official updates, and if you hear thunder, remember — that means lightning is close enough to strike. Take care, Manitoba, and stay safe out there.
