Colleen Bready's forecast: Tornadoes possible as thunderstorms brew
Colleen Bready has your current conditions and updated weather forecast for June 19, 2025.
After severe thunderstorms moved through southwestern Manitoba Wednesday, more are expected to develop in the region Thursday that could produce tornadoes.
Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has issued tornado watch Thursday for all areas within the Virden, Minnedosa and Dauphin regions.
ECCC said a low pressure system will trigger severe thunderstorms in southeastern Saskatchewan Thursday afternoon that will move into southwestern Manitoba by early evening.
The weather agency said conditions are favourable for these severe thunderstorms to produce tornadoes. Hail up to six centimetres in size, wind gusts up to 100 km/h and heavy rain are also likely.

The likelihood of showers or thunderstorms is lower in the southeast, but still certainly possible, particularly late Thursday evening and overnight, including in Winnipeg.
Dry conditions continue in the north Thursday, including in wildfire-affected areas. Sunshine or a mix of sun and clouds, light winds, and highs in the upper-teens or low-twenties are all forecast for the afternoon.
Air quality has improved enough Thursday that ECCC has issued no related alerts in Manitoba or northwestern Ontario, but that could change.
The weather agency said smoke plumes from wildfires near Island Lake on the Ontario side, coupled with smoke from renewed Nopiming Provincial Park fires will spread south-southwest back into Manitoba before moving north Thursday.
That could diminish air quality in the Interlake and east of Lake Winnipeg.

Heat warnings remain in the south with thunderstorms possible in central Alberta
Heat warnings (pink), special weather statement (pale yellow), air quality advisories (gray) issued by Environment and Climate Change Canada on Wednesday, July 8, 2025. Calgary was one of five Alberta communities to set a new maximum temperature record on Tuesday with a high of 31.8 C. The old record of 31.7 was first set in Calgary in 1886, and that temperature was repeated in 1908 and 1919. According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) the other maximum temperature records were set in the Bow Island area (32.6 C), Drumheller area (33.6 C), Esther area (32.5 C) and Sundre area (31.8 C). Heat warnings remain in the south with thunderstorms possible in central Alberta Wednesday's highs will be cooler for most of the province outside of the southeast corner, but they will still sit above seasonal in most locations. Heat warnings remain for the southern portion of Alberta and Saskatchewan due to elevated temperatures but these warnings should be lifted by Thursday. A frontal system will move through Alberta on Wednesday and heighten atmospheric instability. This will contribute to thunderstorm development in the central zone and assist in cooling things down by Thursday. Some of those thunderstorms could become severe in nature, with the greatest threats including large-sized hail and damaging winds. Heat warnings remain in the south with thunderstorms possible in central Alberta Heavy rain in possible in the east-central portions of British Columbia, prompting ECCC to issue a special weather statement for that area. Rain is possible in Calgary on Wednesday and expected on Thursday, before a nice start to the weekend. Daytime highs from Friday to Sunday will range from 25 C to 28 C, with a chance of rain on Sunday.
