00:00Good afternoon from Boisevain, Manitoba, on the Canadian Prairie, where an active pattern of severe weather has been unfolding for
00:08the past several days here in Canada and just to the south across the northern tier of the United States.
00:14Multiple days of severe weather kind of peaking today here in the Canadian Prairie with a significant threat for severe
00:22weather supercells, and those supercells will be capable of all hazards here later this late afternoon into the evening hours
00:30from Manitoba further south into North Dakota.
00:33Now we've been chasing supercells here in Canada, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba for the past couple of days. In fact, we
00:39just had a very rare extreme risk here issued by the Canadian Weather Agency Environment Canada just the other day
00:48that produced supercells. Thankfully it underperformed, but yet again today we have another one of those rare extreme risks up
00:54here in Canada, here in Manitoba, and portions of extreme eastern Saskatchewan.
01:00Now we're watching for supercells to form along a warm frontal zone. That warm front is lifting through North Dakota
01:07into Canada right now, and this afternoon it'll be continuing to move to the north.
01:12Coming up somewhere around the Brandon, Manitoba area, and we'll be looking for that as a focal point for supercells.
01:18And these supercells, if they develop and they're able to ride that warm front, will be capable of strong tornadoes
01:24and, of course, damaging hail and strong damaging winds.
01:28Besides those supercells further to the north here in Manitoba, we're also watching down in North Dakota. We could see
01:34a line, a bow echo of strong storms form, initially having a threat for tornadoes before forming more into that
01:40line, and then blasting east, northeast up here into southern Manitoba, where I'm at here in Boise Vane.
01:47A little bit later in the evening into the overnight hours, that threat will continue to move east across Manitoba
01:53towards Winnipeg, and points to the south in North Dakota, Fargo, and Grand Forks.
01:58North Dakota will also be under threat late overnight hours before another threat unfolds tomorrow afternoon further to the southeast
02:06in the upper Mississippi Valley in the Midwest.
02:08Reporting for AccuWeather, I'm storm chaser Aaron J. Jack on the Canadian prairie here in Boise Vane, Manitoba.
