We had 2 brief weak tornadoes last year in southern MB, an F0 near Lac Du Bonnet on July 30th, and another F0 near Minto on June 20th. Only 3 in all of MB last year, and only 4 in 2011. Average is about 8/year so we've been below normal for a couple years now at least. Our last big year was 2007 with the Elie and Pipestone events.. Since then, AB and SK have being seeing a lot more severe summer weather than southern MB. robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-80565074883280364892013-07-05T16:53:36.994-05:002013-07-05T16:53:36.994-05:00Saturday looking interesting for some thunderstorm...Saturday looking interesting for some thunderstorms across southern MB with potential for heavy rainfall. Local amounts of 25-50 mm possible with stronger storms. Thunderstorm activity over southern SK today will spread into SW MB tonight into early Saturday, then continue to spread eastward into RRV by midday. NAM/WRF guidance suggest a possible split of the storms into the interlake and south of us along the US border into ND with minimal activity in Winnipeg. But we'll have to see how this convection develops. But it does appear that ourt week long streak of sunshine and warmth will be coming to an end this weekend.. at least temporarily.robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-5976633821666611652013-07-05T16:36:49.912-05:002013-07-05T16:36:49.912-05:00For those interested, the city put up a PDF for th...For those interested, the city put up a PDF for the 6/20 heavy rainfall event:<br /><br />http://winnipeg.ca/waterandwaste/pdfs/drainageFlooding/rainfallReports/130620Map.pdfConnornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-49425607964236126932013-07-04T16:58:01.721-05:002013-07-04T16:58:01.721-05:00Rob, what does the storm threat look like for Satu...Rob, what does the storm threat look like for Saturday?
