It's been quite the active week in the province. Two tornadoes were confirmed to have touched down in southern Manitoba Wednesday afternoon, after severe storms prompted several tornado watches and warnings.
A large supercell developed just after 2 p.m. local time Saturday west of Carman, Manitoba. The storms tracked southeast. The radar indicated general rotation with the possibility for a tornado on the ground, The Weather Network meteorologist Tyler Hamilton said. Tornado warnings and watches were issued stateside as a result.
