The potential for tornadoes was there yesterday afternoon and into the early evening.

From about 4-8 pm yesterday tornado watches were issued across southwestern Manitoba.

A tornado watch was in effect for Dauphin, Gilbert Plains, Grandview, Winnipegosis, and Wasagaming for a couple of hours, but the real potential for danger was with a storm near Roblin.

At 6:21 and lasting a little over an hour, Environment Canada issued a tornado warning in the Roblin area.

The storm, however, only brought a torrential downpour and no tornadoes were reported.

For the rest of the week, the forecast isn’t calling for any thunderstorms, but we could see some rain.
