I haven't heard of anything severe from the Peace Gardens area, although they did get quite a heavy thunderstorm in the area last evening with 48 mm of rain reported at Bottineau.

I'm thinking the 30% chance of showers or thunderstorms for Winnipeg tonight is too low given the activity to our west.robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-51913287640301682622010-08-01T17:03:57.754-05:002010-08-01T17:03:57.754-05:00What is the main threats of sever storms gonna be ...What is the main threats of sever storms gonna be if winipeg gets hit by one? are they going to be severe? any toronado risk? ect? thanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
