Severe thunderstorm overnight Thursday
6/10/2021 at 10:48 PM

Looks like we might be in for our first real storm of the season..... Just issued by Environment Canada for Brandon and area, a severe thunderstorm warning for a system currently to the West said to be capable of producing very strong wind gusts, up to nickel-sized hail and heavy rain.
The same storm has been warned for Virden, Oak Lake and other points West with appearing to be just approaching Virden right now. These things of course change by the minute but based on moving 60 km/hr Brandon would be looking at seeing the system closer to midnight in whatever form its in. Being a warning, it means that Env Canada has seen enough to say that severe weather is imminent or occuring.

The winds are high & the lightning is plenty from what I'm seeing so far. It's pretty active, although no rain or hail yet over here.

Storm
6/11/2021 at 12:44 AM

EC warning for Brandon ended, a watch is still in place for possibly more.
Mostly just a rain storm so far with no shortage of flash and rumble. Digital rain gauge showing 15.8mm in about 40 mins so far. Still coming down. Not totally clear what rest of the night looks like but still quite the mess on radar to the Southwest that might have something to say itself before all's said. The text of the watch talks about potential for 90 km/hr winds and quarter hail in storms moving into Southwest MB.

Digital gauge picked up 53.8mm from midnight. Wouldn’t stake my reputation on that being the official number for Brandon but looks like we’ve got a good chance at the June 11 record of 37.4mm from 2008. Here’s hoping that areas prone to overland flooding held up okay.

Sounds like 70.5mm officially at the airport since midnight... a gift to dandelion pullers if nothing else:
Western MB swamped with rain overnight with widespread 50-80 mm of much need rainfall from heavy tstorms. Brandon with over 70 mm since midnight. Map shows rainfall since midnight, table shows total rainfall since 9 pm last evening when storms first moved in #MBstorm pic.twitter.com/lcG8p5POa2

Wind warning
6/11/2021 at 3:01 PM

Looks like the back end of that system is coming through. Batten down the hatches!

Strong winds that may cause damage are expected or occurring.

Wind gusts up to 100 km/h in southwestern Manitoba Friday afternoon.

Strong south to southwest winds with gusts up to 100 km/h will move from the U.S. border northwards through Friday afternoon. The winds will ease into the 30 to 40 km/h range later Friday evening as the disturbance driving the winds weakens.

Yikes… 100k is about as wild as it gets around here short of a twister. Whole wider system pretty fascinating on radar circling like a hurricane!

I'm seeing pics on Twitter with some damage to buildings and trees in Boissevain from the wind. It's not here yet, but should be soon?

Edit to add infographic

I thought for once we might have a mosquito free summer with it being so dry. Not now. With all the standing water it could be wicked for mosquitoes this summer. Need some home made repellent suggestions.

Around 14 days from June 11, mark the day... the great mosquito fogging debate of 2021 awaits
