Stonewall is not currently under any weather alerts, despite severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings affecting other parts of the province on Monday, July 6, 2026. Environment Canada‘s forecast for the town shows clearing skies and temperatures in the mid-to-high 20s starting Wednesday, offering a break after devastating storms in early June.
While Stonewall stays dry, a tornado watch remains in effect for southeastern Manitoba and northwestern Ontario, according to The Weather Network. Those areas could see large hail up to four centimetres in diameter and wind gusts reaching 100 kilometres per hour on Monday afternoon and evening.
Five tornado warnings were also issued Monday for parts of southwestern Manitoba, including areas near Pipestone, Souris-Glenwood, and Sifton, as reported by Tornado Path. No warnings have been issued for the Stonewall or Rockwood region.
The calm comes less than a month after a powerful storm system tore through southern Manitoba on June 9 and 10. Stonewall was among the hardest hit, receiving about 255 millimetres of rain in roughly seven hours. The deluge caused widespread flooding, overwhelmed the town’s sewage system, and forced the Rural Municipality of Rockwood to declare a local state of emergency.
Mayor Sandra Smith described the rainfall as unprecedented. Floodwaters entered basements and homes, several schools in the Interlake School Division were closed, and Manitoba Hydro reported about 1,000 outages affecting over 25,000 customers across southern Manitoba.
Looking ahead, Environment Canada’s seven-day forecast for Stonewall predicts sunny conditions from Wednesday, July 8, through Sunday, July 12, with temperatures ranging from 25 C to 29 C.
