==DISCUSSION==
CONDITIONS ARE FAVOURABLE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS WHICH MAY PRODUCE TORNADOES. STRONG WINDS, LARGE HAIL
AND HEAVY RAIN ARE ALSO POSSIBLE.
A DEVELOPING FRONTAL SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO MOVE INTO SOUTHERN
MANITOBA THIS AFTERNOON, USHERING IN AN UNSTABLE AIRMASS RIPE FOR
THE DEVELOPMENT OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS.
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO INITIATE AROUND 4-5 PM LOCAL TIME OVER
SOUTHWESTERN MANITOBA AND EXTREME SOUTHEASTERN SASKATCHEWAN WITH THE
INITIAL STORMS BEING DISCRETE BEFORE GROWING INTO A LARGE LINEAR
THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX THAT WILL RACE EASTWARD ACROSS SOUTHERN
MANITOBA THIS EVENING. DISCRETE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS ALSO
POSSIBLE LATER THIS AFTERNOON OVER THE RED RIVER VALLEY.
ALL MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER ARE EXPECTED WITH TORNADOES AND LARGE
HAIL BEING THE PRIMARY THREAT EARLY ON IN DISCRETE CONVECTION, THEN
TRANSITIONING INTO A WIDESPREAD WIND THREAT EARLY THIS EVENING WITH
THE LINEAR THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX THAT IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP.
STRONG TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE WITH ANY DISCRETE STORMS THAT DEVELOP.
EMBEDDED TORNADOES ARE ALSO POSSIBLE WITHIN THE LINEAR THUNDERSTORM
COMPLEX EARLY THIS EVENING.
SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION TO INFRASTRUCTURE, HOMES AND THE
NATURAL ENVIRONMENT IS POSSIBLE. IN THE EVENT OF A TORNADO, OR IF A
TORNADO WARNING IS ISSUED FOR YOUR AREA: GO INDOORS TO A ROOM ON THE
LOWEST FLOOR, AWAY FROM OUTSIDE WALLS AND WINDOWS, SUCH AS A
BASEMENT, BATHROOM, STAIRWELL OR INTERIOR CLOSET. LEAVE MOBILE
HOMES, VEHICLES, TENTS, TRAILERS AND OTHER TEMPORARY OR
FREE-STANDING SHELTER, AND MOVE TO A STRONG BUILDING IF YOU CAN. AS
A LAST RESORT, LIE IN A LOW SPOT AND PROTECT YOUR HEAD FROM FLYING
DEBRIS. BE PREPARED FOR SEVERE WEATHER. IF YOU HEAR A ROARING SOUND
OR SEE A FUNNEL CLOUD, SWIRLING DEBRIS NEAR THE GROUND, FLYING
DEBRIS, OR ANY THREATENING WEATHER APPROACHING, TAKE COVER
IMMEDIATELY. WHEN OUT ON THE WATER, BE PREPARED FOR SEVERE WEATHER.
IF THREATENING WEATHER APPROACHES MAKE FOR SHORE AND TAKE SHELTER
IMMEDIATELY. IT IS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS TO BE ON A SMALL CRAFT ON
THE OPEN WATER WHEN LIGHTNING IS OCCURRING. TORNADO WATCHES ARE
ISSUED WHEN CONDITIONS ARE FAVOURABLE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING TORNADOES.
PLEASE CONTINUE TO MONITOR ALERTS AND FORECASTS ISSUED BY
ENVIRONMENT CANADA. TO REPORT SEVERE WEATHER, SEND AN EMAIL TO
MBSTORM(AT)EC.GC.CA, CALL 1-800-239-0484 OR POST REPORTS ON X USING
