🔴 LIVE TONIGHT AT 7 PM:
I'll be joined by Dr. David Sills, Director of the Northern Tornadoes Project, to bring clarity to the concerns around Environment Canada’s radar research program.
We’ll be discussing why radar research matters, how it helps forecasters issue better severe weather warnings, and why this issue is so important for tornado detection and public safety across Canada.
Link to our YouTube channel is in the comments below.
Please share to help spread the word!

🚨 WE NEED YOUR HELP, #MANITOBA! 🚨 #mbstorm
Environment Canada is shutting down its critical radar research program. 🤦♂️
This is a huge problem because Canada’s radars still need significant improvements to help forecasters issue more accurate tornado warnings, and without the radar research team, those improvements may never happen.
Please click the link in the comments below and follow the easy steps to send two letters: one to the federal minister responsible for Environment Canada and one to your local MP, urging Environment Canada to reconsider.
Thank you so much for your help!
Sincerely,
- Adam & the IW team
P.S. Please share this to help it reach as far as possible!

#mbstorm Improvements Made to Alerts!
We’ve made some more improvements to how Environment Canada alerts are posted and notified with InstantWeather and our social media pages!
We now have 4 categories instead of 3.
1. ISSUED: When an alert first gets issued.
2. CONTINUED: When an alert is updated but no details have changed.
3. UPDATED (New!): When an alert is updated with new details. We added this so that it’s easier to quickly determine if there are any changes to the details.
4. ENDED: When an alert has ended.
We hope this new “Updated” category helps! 🤗
More updates and improvements coming soon, including an app update with the correct alert colours in the alert bar, etc! Woohoo!
