Just issued for Brandon-Carberry-Treherne by Environment Canada. Pasted the text below along with link.  
 
Watches are of course not telling of immediate danger, but reminding that conditions are right for storms to develop and progress in the area. Already a light show to the North and some impressive cloud formations just to the Southwest. Follow the radar link to see any storms that might effect Brandon and immediate area tonight.

Conditions are favourable for the development of dangerous thunderstorms that may be capable of producing damaging wind gusts, damaging hail and heavy rain.  
 
A cold front moving through the region has triggered severe thunderstorms.  
 
Fast moving water across a road can sweep a vehicle away. Very large hail can damage property, break windows, dent vehicles and cause serious injury. Very strong wind gusts can damage buildings, down trees and blow large vehicles off the road. Remember, severe thunderstorms can produce tornadoes. Be prepared for severe weather. Take cover immediately, if threatening weather approaches. Stay indoors when a thunderstorm strikes. There isn't a place outside that is safe during a thunderstorm. If you hear thunder, then lightning is close enough to be dangerous. Lightning kills and injures Canadians every year. Remember, when thunder roars, go indoors!  
 
Environment Canada meteorologists will update alerts as required. Please monitor local media or Weatheradio. To report severe weather, send an email to storm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports to #MBStorm.

RM of Elton including Forrest is now a warning (same link as above).  
Going by radar it will be very close as far whether or not Brandon gets anything from this first storm that's coming from the Southwest. Plenty more mess on radar behind it that look like it'll have a chance to make the night interesting depending on how things progress.
