Powerful winds, damaging hail and heavy downpours pass through southern Manitoba Wednesday evening.

Environment Canada placed much of the province under severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings for much of the afternoon and into the evening.

A number of elements came into play creating the “severe supercell thunderstorms” that developed over southeast Saskatchewan in the afternoon. The system moved into southern Manitoba in the evening.
