A number of tornado warnings were issued throughout Manitoba Wednesday evening, as storms rolled through the province.

Just before 6 p.m. Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) started issuing the warnings throughout the province and they continued until later in the evening for places like Shoal Lake and Falcon and West Hawk Lakes.

Meteorologists were tracking several storms that were producing high winds, thunderstorms, rain and large hail, which were being called potentially life-threatening.

There were more than a dozen warnings issued Wednesday evening.

On top of the tornado warnings, tornado watches, as well as severe thunderstorm watches and warnings popped up in Manitoba.
