An active couple of days will give way to rising temperatures across much of the Prairies heading into the weekend
An active pattern across the centre of the country produced several tornadoes this week. The same pattern will produce another round of severe weather on Friday.
Friday’s potential will decrease slightly compared to the past couple of days, but some dangerous storms are possible. Residents should closely monitor watches and warnings throughout the day.

Friday supercells are possible
The environment remains supportive for severe weather as we head into the end of the week across the Prairies.
Manitoba will largely miss out on Friday’s risk as the possibility for severe thunderstorms shifts back toward Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Models show storms developing throughout the evening hours, around the 6-9 p.m. timeframe. The main threats will be large hail and strong to destructive wind gusts.
Friday’s storm potential will affect some larger population centres, including Edmonton, Red Deer, Saskatoon, and Regina.
