Conditions are favourable for the development of dangerous thunderstorms that may be capable of producing large hail and torrential rain.

These thunderstorms are developing as a slow-moving low-pressure system moves through the Red River Valley and southeastern Manitoba. The threat of severe weather should end early this evening.

Remember, severe thunderstorms can produce tornadoes. Heavy downpours can cause flash floods and water pooling on roads.
