I am reviewing my photos from the July 3rd Storm Chase across far SE SK/SW MB and I came across this photo where it looks like a large funnel or tornado could have touched down briefly. Photo was taken at 8:52pm NE of Tilston, MB looking Westward

📰 ‼️ **BREAKING** ‼️ 📰
Two tornadoes have officially been CONFIRMED yesterday across Southeastern Manitoba. The first occurring near Sperling, Manitoba and then a second one occurring near Niverville.
That brings Manitoba’s total for tornadoes so far this year to 3! 🌪️

Southern Manitoba's wild week of weather continues. We started the week with the earliest 100 F (37.8 C) temperature reading in Canadian history. This morning, we have temperatures near 0 C in western Manitoba and perhaps even the odd flake of snow!

It’s so unusual hot, like really HOT…
But back to usual May long weekend weather with potential snow, because it’s a May Long tradition to have crappy weather!
We honestly need some substantial precipitation to help with the fire situation.
Happy Victory Day weekend!

Satellite Imagery from SE MB right now.
Circled in orange is a current area of interest.
It looks like thunderstorms may be forming from the fires burning NE of Bird River.. Either that, or the fires are escalating and smoke is shooting up 10k-20kft.
Impressive.. but not in a good way!

Good Morning, everyone.
The daylight reveals on the Satellite Imagery that wildfires continue to burn out of control this morning and with breezy conditions today and more extreme heat, these fires could get worse before they get better later this week.

CASFW + CASWL ⬇️ again…
This is a concerning trend we’ve been seeing. These radars aren’t that old to be acting this way. These are relatively new systems.
The Canadian Weather Radar Replacement Program began in 2017.
The project was completed by 2023,
with all 33 new radars installed.

SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING
A couple isolated supercells are likely to form in far eastern SK in the late afternoon, passing into the greater Swan River area later in the evening.
Although the threat appears to be quite low, a weak tornado or two cannot be ruled out.

Good Morning, everyone.
Here are my Lightning photos I shot last night around 10:00pm just Southeast of Brandon as a line of non-severe thunderstorms moved through the area.
It was nice to get out and enjoy the first, of hopefully many, chases this Season!

Good Afternoon, everyone. 👋
Western and Southwestern Manitoba stands a chance for a couple of THUNDERSTORMS this afternoon into the early evening hours. ⛈️
The area circled has the best chance for a few storms.
