Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop during the evening hours along a trough of low pressure over Western Manitoba and push eastwards across Central and Southern Manitoba during the late evening and overnight hours. Thunderstorms will initially have the potential to produce 3-5 cm hail and 100-120 km/h wind gusts over southwestern areas. A moderate threat of severe thunderstorms will continue to exist as these thunderstorms push eastward into the Interlake and Red River Valley. The thunderstorms are expected to weaken overnight as they move into southeastern areas. Elsewhere, non-severe thunderstorms will be possible giving locally heavy downpours, gusty winds and small hail.
