And it may not be quite done yet ...

City of Winnipeg
6:15 PM CDT Monday 10 June 2013

Severe thunderstorm watch for City of Winnipeg continued

This is an alert to the potential development of severe thunderstorms with large hail and damaging winds.
Monitor weather conditions..listen for updated statements. If threatening weather approaches take immediate safety precautions.

An unstable airmass over Southern Manitoba is resulting in scattered thunderstorm development this evening. Large hail and torrential downpours are the primary threats from any storms, although there have been reports of funnel clouds and an isolated tornado is not out of the question.

The severe weather threat has now diminished in Western Manitoba, and will end later this evening in the Red River Valley and eastward.

Whew! Glad the storm passed by quickly & there was no time for accumulation of water puddle on the nest ledge. :P

My heart sank when I saw the size of the hail hitting our ledge. Princess is such a good Mom even though one of the chicks wanted his/her head out from under her. She scrunched him down to protect all, during the storm and after.



After the storm

There's no wind to speak of, I'm only 5 blocks south of the ledge. No idea why the camera is shaking now and  then.

Slowing down now and believe it or not, there are patches of blue sky.
Looks like the worst is over.

It's really coming down, straight down so there's little wind out there.

Lots of thunder and hail the size of peas coming straight down in Osborne Village (close to downtown)

Even though there are patches of blue sky, we have some thunder going on right now downtown.
Not the loud ones, the ones that rumble for minutes.
