Ste. Anne, Manitoba, is heading into a stretch of unsettled weather this week, with a thunderstorm risk on Tuesday that could bring severe conditions including large hail and possible tornadoes. Environment Canada forecasts a cool and rainy pattern to settle in by mid-week, though no weather alerts are currently in effect for the area.
Monday is expected to see clearing skies this afternoon with a high of 27°C and south winds gusting to 50 km/h. The overnight low will drop to 13°C under clear skies, but the calm won’t last. Tuesday brings a sharp change, with temperatures climbing to 31°C and a Humidex of 37 before a risk of thunderstorms develops late in the afternoon. Southeast winds could gust to 50 km/h.
According to The Weather Network, a severe weather system is expected to target southern Saskatchewan and Manitoba on Tuesday. The setup includes high instability, moisture, and steep temperature changes with height, creating conditions favorable for severe thunderstorms. Large hail and tornado development are possible, particularly later in the day as low-level wind shear increases.
The active weather follows a confirmed tornado outbreak just six days earlier. On June 2, three tornadoes touched down in southern Manitoba—one near Manitou and two near Carman—along with golf- and tennis ball-sized hail. That system caused power outages across the region. This Tuesday’s setup is drawing comparisons, though Environment Canada has not yet issued any watches or warnings for Ste. Anne.
Showers are likely on Wednesday with a 70 percent chance and a high of 21°C. Thursday looks rainy and windy, with temperatures dropping sharply to a high of only 17°C. Conditions improve by Friday with sunny skies and a high of 21°C, followed by a mix of sun and cloud on Saturday and another 21°C high. Residents are advised to monitor forecasts closely, especially during Tuesday’s severe weather window.
