Tornado watch for City of Winnipeg upgraded from Severe thunderstorm watch
Tornadoes are possible this afternoon in parts of Southern Manitoba.
Conditions are favourable for the development of severe thunderstorms with the potential to produce tornadoes.
These severe thunderstorms will also have the potential to produce very large hail..Flooding rain..Deadly lightning and powerful winds. Use this time to secure outdoor property and to ensure family members are prepared to take action should the severe weather approach.
Environment Canada continues to monitor the situation closely for severe thunderstorm development and possible tornado warnings. Please continue to monitor your local media or weatheradio for further updates.
Should severe weather approach or if you feel threatened do not wait for warnings to take action..Take shelter immediately.
Should you spot a funnel cloud or tornado...And only if it is safe to do so...You can call 1-800-239-0484 to report your sighting. Please note this phone number is for reporting severe weather only.
Latest satellite and radar data shows convection beginning in the Red River Valley. With a cold front moving through a very warm, moist air mass..Sufficient energy and wind shear exists for severe thunderstorm development this afternoon in the Red River Valley including the City of Winnipeg..The Interlake..And Eastern Manitoba. Tornadoes are likely to develop with some of these storms.
Elsewhere in much of Southern Manitoba..Severe thunderstorms remain possible given the warm and unstable air mass.
The threat of severe weather should end some time this evening.

1430 hrs (local) - the sun is full on the ledge, boys can't have no more shade so this time White made the trip to the box to check it out ... decided not to stay, guess cuz the girls are splayed out on their bellies in the shade inside the box, almost no room for even our littlest boy ...
... got a look at the band colour - Yellow is in the box with his sisters, White is still out on the ledge asleep on his belly on the concrete right below the ledgecam ....

Sorry, my bad, Red is still in the nestbox, she's sleeping in the far corner, couldn't see her past her sister. Guess one of the boys made a quick run down, up, look, over and back while I wasn't watching!!

--- End quote ---
the louvres are metal, they can't climb more than a couple of feet - Red's jump back into the nestbox was probably as much jump as "can't hang on" ...
