A severe thunderstorm headed across southern Manitoba on Thursday in the early morning hours with the watch ending just after 6:00 a.m.

According to Environment Canada, an approaching low-pressure system over southern Saskatchewan has triggered scattered thunderstorms over southern Manitoba. Some of these thunderstorms may reach severe thresholds.

The biggest threat with this thunderstorm is strong wind gusts, large hail, and heavy rain that could flood certain areas. 

EC warns that fast-moving water across a road can sweep a vehicle away. Large hail can damage property and cause injury. Also, they can produce tornadoes.

The rain will end around noon.
