A low pressure system tracking in from Saskatchewan Wednesday night triggered a spurt of tornado warnings across southwestern Manitoba.
A flurry of tornado activity was reported throughout southern Manitoba on Wednesday night.
According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), a low pressure system moving in from Saskatchewan triggered tornado warnings at around 3:30 p.m. for areas around Binscarth, Man.
“That storm actually tracked over the next three hours all the way down to the Morden and Winkler area, and we had multiple reports of tornadoes along the way,” said ECCC meteorologist Dan Fulton.
Over the next few hours, tornado touchdowns were reported in Rapid City, Rivers, Cypress River, Baldur, and Swan Lake.
Reports about tornado activity in other regions could still come in, he said.
Additionally, the Northern Tornadoes Project will investigate over the next few days, and assign a rating to the tornadoes.
