Statements 11:00 PM CDT Sunday 29 June 2014 Special weather statement in effect for: Brandon - Carberry - Treherne Strong winds gusting to 80 km/h producing local damage. An unseasonably intense storm system centered northeast of the Dauphin area is producing strong westerly to southwest winds over Southwest Manitoba and the Red River Valley today. Winds gusting to 70 or 80 km/h are being reported with a peak gust to 96 km/h at Brandon Airport earlier this morning. These winds together with full tree foliage and saturated ground are leading to several reports of tree branches down along with local power outages. The winds are expected to stay strong into this evening before they start easing off overnight as the storm system weakens somewhat. Until then residents in the advisory area should be aware of the potential for further local tree damage and power outages today due to these strong winds. The public is advised to monitor future forecasts and warnings as warnings may be required or extended.
