A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for southwest and central Manitoba and southeastern Saskatchewan.

There's also a severe thunderstorm warning for the Municipality of Roblin including Makaroff Shortdale and Bield, the RM of Mountain including Cowan and Camperville, and Duck Mountain Provincial Park and Provincial Forest.

Environment Canada says that conditions are favourable for developing dangerous thunderstorms that could produce heavy rain, strong winds, and large hail.

An unstable airmass that has lingered over the southern prairies for the last week will once again produce severe thunderstorms this afternoon. Thunderstorms are expected to weaken as the sun sets.
