Environment Canada has issued tornado clocks for parts of Manitoba.
Heavy storms are expected to affect parts of midwest Manitoba during the afternoon.
“An unstable air mass is in place in front of a frontal system, providing a favorable environment for the development of severe storms that can produce tornadoes. With these storms large hail are also possible, up to a golf ball and strong gusts of wind, “ECCC said in a bulletin.
