Severe thunderstorm risk with very large hail as two instability zones develop
Following Wednesday's severe storms that unleashed golfball-sized hail across parts of the Prairies, another widespread severe weather threat is forecast for Thursday. DON'T MISS: All three Prairie provinces and northwestern Ontario are at risk, as a cold front interacts with high thunderstorm energy and elevated humidity. Key hazards include hail up to 3–4 cm in size, heavy rainfall, and wind gusts exceeding 90 km/h. Golf ball sized hail northwest of Swift Current, Saskatchewan! #skstorm — Braydon Morisseau (@BraydonMoreSo) July 10, 2025 Two areas of instability could trigger severe storms Thursday. You'll want to stay updated on the weather alerts in your area as conditions can change quickly when severe weather hits. The first zone is focused along a cold front advancing through Manitoba and northwestern Ontario. By the late afternoon, severe thunderstorms could develop along the provincial borders, extending as far north as Hudson Bay. As a cold front meets high thunderstorm energy and humidity, there is a risk for very large hail up to 3-4 cm. DON'T MISS: While Winnipeg could see humid conditions feeling like the 40s, storm potential remains uncertain due to limited storm development signals. Confidence is higher for northern Ontario into the evening. The second area spans southern Alberta and Saskatchewan. Storms could initiate early in the afternoon near the Alberta-Saskatchewan border before tracking eastward towards Regina by evening. DON'T MISS: These storms may briefly intensify into supercells before transitioning into a linear system, posing risks of 2+ cm hail, heavy rainfall, and damaging winds. Storms may continue into southern Manitoba overnight. Ongoing severe weather risks will linger for Manitoba and northwestern Ontario on Friday under a stalled boundary and high instability.

Rare 'wave clouds' spotted over Calgary this weekend
Sky-watchers were treated to a unique sight on Sunday evening as rare clouds developed west of Calgary, Alberta. DON'T MISS: Kelvin-Helmholtz clouds, often called wave clouds, develop when two layers of air with different densities move at varying speeds. Cooler, slower-moving air below condenses to form a cloud layer, while warmer, faster-moving air above interacts with the cloud tops, creating a distinctive rolling, wave-like appearance. Kelvin-Helmholtz wave clouds west of Calgary, Alberta! #abstorm #yyc — Braydon Morisseau (@BraydonMoreSo) July 7, 2025 These clouds are named after scientists Lord Kelvin and Hermann von Helmholtz, who studied the physical processes behind their formation. They are relatively rare, requiring precise atmospheric conditions to develop. SEE ALSO: The best chance of spotting Kelvin-Helmholtz clouds is on windy days during sunrise or sunset. At these times, the lower cloud layers tend to be cooler, making the phenomenon more likely to occur. Keep an eye out for these unique cloud patterns during dynamic weather conditions.

Conducive severe storm setup on the Prairies will reappear, shift on Thursday
Alberta will a catch break from the heat, humidity on Thursday but could see more foul weather in the northern section of the province once again. Wednesday was quite stormy in the northern half of Alberta, prompting severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings, as well as watches. A tornado was reported by storm chasers, with a visible funnel cloud captured in photos and videos--between Lodgepole and Drayton Valley, Alta.--but there hasn't been an official confirmation, yet. Tornado forming west of Drayton Valley, Alberta #abstorm — Braydon Morisseau (@BraydonMoreSo) July 2, 2025 Drayton valley 5:20 pm #abstorm — krista d (@KDenreyer) July 2, 2025 MUST SEE: The risk of severe storms will reappear in northern Alberta Thursday while also moving into parts of Saskatchewan and Manitoba, bringing the chance of large hail, strong winds and heavy downpours. Be sure to monitor local weather alerts and incoming conditions throughout the day. The same cold front to trigger Wednesday's storms will makes its way east into Saskatchewan and Manitoba on Thursday, triggering another risk of thunderstorms; although there is still some uncertainty as to how strong the storms will be and their locations. Thunderstorm energy over the Prairies will still be high, though, so we will see a risk of severe storms developing along the Saskatchewan-Manitoba border in the late-afternoon to evening hours. There will be a widespread risk for severe thunderstorms across the northern Prairies. Forecasters will be watching the Brandon, Man., region for severe weather by the early evenin, potentially moving east into Winnipeg in the overnight period. We could once again see some large hail, between 3-5 cm in diameter, and damaging winds between 90-110 km/h with any severe storms that pop up. As the week wraps up, the Prairie provinces are anticipated to get some relief from both the heat and the storms, with cooler air coming in by Friday. In the meantime, residents are urged to remain weather-aware. Those in high-risk areas should pay attention to alerts, particularly in the late afternoon and evening. Conditions will be very hot and muggy in southern Saskatchewan and Manitoba, with Winnipeg feeling like 43 on Friday. Thumbnail courtesy of Iona, taken in Prince Albert, Sask.

PHOTOS: Tornado hits Saskatchewan as severe storms pelt Prairies
Storm spotters witnessed at least one tornado in southern Saskatchewan on Thursday as severe thunderstorms hit the region. A dynamic setup across the south-central Prairies allowed isolated thunderstorms to develop on Thursday. The bulk of the active weather unfolded across Saskatchewan. DON'T MISS: At least three rotating thunderstorms prompted tornado warnings from communities near Saskatoon to rural areas near Estevan. The storm in southeastern Saskatchewan near Estevan produced at least one spotter-confirmed tornado. Multiple chasers in the region caught photos of the twister as it swept through fields, hurling debris through the air along its track. Large hail, gusty winds, and heavy rainfall also accompanied the severe thunderstorms. Experts will likely survey the damage in the days ahead to confirm the number of tornadoes that touched down Thursday and assign damage ratings on the Enhanced Fujita Scale.

PHOTOS: Alberta, Sask., see multiple days of tornado-warned storms
It has been a stormy weekend so far for parts of Alberta and Saskatchewan, with several tornado warnings issued amid favourable conditions on Friday and Saturday. While nothing has been confirmed by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) or the Northern Tornadoes Project (NTP), spotters in Saskatchewan reported at least one tornado north of Saskatoon, in the communities of Hague and Hepburn. SEE ALSO: Saturday's tornado warnings lasted more than three hours. Multiple photos of funnel clouds were posted on social media. The biggest hail report was for stones that were toonie-sized, near Alvena, Sask. The severe weather on June 14 followed Friday's storms, which also produced reports of tornadoes and funnel clouds throughout parts of Alberta and Saskatchewan. The severe thunderstorms during the past two days came courtesy of a low-pressure system that has been swinging across the Prairies, from north to south. The instability in the provinces fuelled the severe storms, which were triggered by the system's front that extended across both provinces. An almost identical storm setup is taking shape on Sunday, with the chance of severe storms confined to the Aberta foothills and nearby areas, as well as in southern Saskatchewan. Below is just a selection of visuals of the severe storms from Saturday evening that have surfaced on social media.
