A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect for Neepawa and the surrounding Municipality of North Cypress-Langford as a series of weather disturbances moves through southern Manitoba. Environment Canada issued the alert at 2:22 p.m. on Monday, June 29, 2026, warning that conditions are favourable for storms capable of producing large hail, strong winds, heavy rain, and even tornadoes. Residents are being told to stay alert and monitor the sky as the storms push in from North Dakota through the evening.
At 3:00 p.m. on Monday, the nearby Carberry weather station reported a temperature of 23.6°C with humidity at 89 percent, falling air pressure, and a humidex of 33. That combination is prime for severe thunderstorm growth. Storms are expected to grow in coverage as the evening goes on, with the main threats shifting toward heavy downpours and damaging wind gusts. After midnight, winds will become west at 40 km/h gusting to 60 km/h. Neepawa could see up to 30 millimetres of rain. The low will fall to just 13°C.
The unsettled pattern does not let up on Tuesday. Rain is forecast to continue through the morning before ending early in the afternoon, followed by mainly cloudy skies. West winds will stay strong at 50 km/h, gusting as high as 70 km/h, with a high of 22°C and a humidex of 26. The UV index is expected to reach 7, which is considered high.
Looking beyond Tuesday, the forecast shows showers lingering off and on through Saturday, July 4. Daytime highs will range from 18°C to 27°C, with the warmest day likely being Sunday, July 5, when the mercury could reach 27°C. The repeated rounds of wet weather mean anyone with outdoor plans this week needs to be ready for quick changes. A severe thunderstorm watch means conditions are right for dangerous weather to develop fast, so chasing after loose lawn furniture or pulling over if driving conditions get bad can make all the difference.
