Environment Canada reports that an intense thunderstorm 20 km south of Swan River is moving eastward at 45 km/h. This thunderstorm is capable of producing large hail, damaging winds and torrential downpours. Some severe thunderstorms produce tornadoes, the weather office warns.

A severe thunderstorm watch remains in effect for the rest of Southern Manitoba, with a possibility of damaging winds, large hail and torrential downpours.
