A second round of weaker storms are likely to roll through Wednesday overnight, and through Thursday morning.
Thunderstorms will begin to track through southern Manitoba during the early afternoon, bringing the threat of strong wind gusts and large hail, up to toonie-sized, to much of the region.
The storms will then continue eastwards, gaining strength as the system tracks towards northwestern Ontario throughout the afternoon and evening hours.
