Environment Canada just issued a severe thunderstorm watch. Looks like it's possible some severe storms will drift north into the region overnight (if they don't diminish before getting here).  
 
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR:  
=NEW= BRANDON - NEEPAWA - CARBERRY - TREHERNE  
=NEW= KILLARNEY - PILOT MOUND - MANITOU  
=NEW= MELITA - BOISSEVAIN - TURTLE MOUNTAIN PROVINCIAL PARK  
=NEW= VIRDEN - SOURIS.  
 
------------------  
==DISCUSSION==  
 
CONDITIONS ARE FAVOURABLE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF DANGEROUS  
THUNDERSTORMS THAT MAY BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING WIND GUSTS,  
LARGE HAIL AND HEAVY RAIN.  
 
THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH A DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IN  
MONTANA ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO SOUTHEASTERN SASKATCHEWAN LATE  
THIS EVENING AND INTO SOUTHWESTERN MANITOBA DURING THE OVERNIGHT  
HOURS. SOME OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE SEVERE WITH DAMAGING WIND  
GUSTS BEING THE MAIN THREAT, ALTHOUGH LARGE HAIL AND HEAVY RAIN ARE  
ALSO POSSIBLE.  
 
THE THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL LIKELY CONTINUE INTO THE EARLY  
MORNING HOURS AS THE SYSTEM DEVELOPS.

983 places in Brandon without power on Hydro’s list this morning. I heard a large bang down our street on the North Hill after my power was restored for a few minutes. Still no power.

Hope outages are fixed for folks soon!  
Rain gauges picked up 19.3mm in South Brandon, 14.5mm in West

On north hill, back on about 15 minutes ago.

For Hydro workers!!
