Severe thunderstorms are expected to develop in southeastern Saskatchewan on Thursday.
A warm front moving into the province will create ideal conditions for severe weather to develop and potentially produce a tornado.
Main threats with the thunderstorms will be torrential downpours, 90 km/h – 100 km/h wind gusts and large hail.
There is also a tornado threat late Thursday afternoon and early evening along the Saskatchewan-Manitoba border, in the Carlyle and Moosomin regions.
