DON'T MISS:
Severe weather likely on Sunday
Sunday will kick off with an early-morning mesoscale convective system (MCS) expected to develop stateside.
This organized line of thunderstorms will push into northwestern Ontario and head toward the Thunder Bay area. Expect this first round of storms between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. local time.
A second line of severe thunderstorms will develop and approach the area during the afternoon hours.
Large hail, gusty winds, heavy rainfall, and one or two tornadoes are possible in these storms. The environment is favourable for rotating thunderstorms near the international border, including Fort Frances and Atikokan.
STAY SAFE:
There remains some uncertainty in the timing and coverage of the lines of storms in northwestern Ontario, as they depend on the timing of the cold front's arrival and the atmosphere's ability to destabilize itself amid the wildfire smoke over the region.
Folks across southern Manitoba, including Winnipeg, could see severe thunderstorms fire up beginning Sunday afternoon as a low-pressure system moves into the region. The main hazard from this cluster of storms will be large hail and heavy rainfall.

2 more mass salmon die-offs reported off south coast of Newfoundland
Two more mass mortality events have been reported at Newfoundland fish farming sites, both at sites on the island's south coast. Cooke Aquaculture, who operates Cold Ocean Salmon at the Olive Cove site in Hermitage Bay, reported that around 47,000 fish died over a multi-day period beginning on July 19. Joel Richardson, vice president of public relations, said both warm water and sea lice played a factor in the event. "A few key areas around Newfoundland, not unlike other areas in Atlantic Canada, can get warm. And the water affected one of the crops of our fish at one of our sites in a few specific cages. And unfortunately those fish perished," Richardson told CBC Radio Thursday. "When you kind of combine the high temperatures with this localized sea lice in the area that's there on an ongoing basis, it certainly can be problematic. And it was problematic in this case." Days earlier, Richardson said another mortality event happened during a smolt transfer at its Grip Cove site, near Hermitage, on July 16. He said a mechanical issue during the transfer resulted in between 17,000 and 18,000 juvenile fish dying. Losing fish during smolt transfers isn't uncommon, he added, but the amount of fish lost was abnormal in this case. "It's unfortunate that you have crop loss and you lose fish. But, you know, that is the nature of farming and growing food," Richardson said. Another player in Newfoundland salmon farming, Mowi Canada East, reported a mortality event caused by a period of increased water temperatures on Monday. At least 17,600 fish died in that event. Gideon Pringle, Mowi Canada East's managing director, told CBC News in an email on Thursday that the event was isolated to a single farm and quickly resolved during the farm's final days of harvesting. When asked what farming sites are doing to combat rising water temperatures, Richardson said temperatures are monitored on a daily basis. Richardson added that while he said he hasn't seen a dramatic increase in water temperatures during Cooke's time in Newfoundland, mortality events will continue to happen as farming continues. "It's not cause for great environmental concern. We go through the process, we remediate the site, and the site is cleaned and ready to be farmed and fished again," he said. "We also have a lot of technology in the sea cages. Underwater cameras, temperature sensors in real time that provide data back to the fish health team and the technicians. So they're monitoring that on an ongoing basis.... It's just something that we have to be mindful of." Download our to sign up for push alerts for CBC Newfoundland and Labrador. Sign up for our .

Lytton First Nation in B.C. orders wildfire evacuation of two reserves
The Lytton First Nation in British Columbia that was devastated four years ago by a wildfire has ordered that some of its reserves be evacuated again. The First Nation has issued an evacuation order for two sparsely populated reserves due to immediate danger posed by the uncontrolled wildfire burning nearby, about 10 kilometres south of the Village of Lytton. The order signed Thursday said residents must leave the Lytton 26A and Skwayaynope 26 reserves immediately and head to a reception centre. Officials with the Lytton First Nation say there are only two households on the reservation plots, one of which is unoccupied, while the other belongs to a member of the First Nation fire fighting team on the front lines of the fire. A spokesman for the First Nation said it was not the same area that was evacuated in June of 2021, when much of Lytton was destroyed by a wildfire and two people were killed. The current Lytton wildfire was recently measured at 6.5 square kilometres and continues to burn out of control, causing the Thompson-Nicola Regional District and local First Nations to issue a series of evacuation alerts this week. Barj Dehaan said he was driving back home to Vancouver on Wednesday when he started seeing smoke about 30 kilometres east of Lytton. "As I got closer, I could see this huge plume of smoke. And as I got closer, I could see the literal fire as well, trees on fire. I have not seen a live fire like that before,' he said Thursday. He said the region has been very hot. "The air quality was poor, and I could feel a burning sensation in my throat, strong smell of burning wood. And then I started thinking about the people who live in that town, that here they are again, having to deal with a fire that seems to be out of control,' he said. The fire near Lytton is one of a handful of significant fires burning in the province in areas where Environment Canada has issued heat warnings this week, with temperatures in the high 30s. "High temperatures will moderate towards seasonal values on Friday," a weather statement said. In the Okanagan, police and fire crews went door-to-door Wednesday night to evacuate residents from 400 properties near Peachland as a fast-moving wildfire burned near the community. Another 225 properties are on evacuation alert because of the fire that started Wednesday afternoon and quickly spread through tinder-dry scrub and forest. The BC Wildfire Service has upgraded a blaze in the Fraser Valley to a "wildfire of note" and is warning campers to leave the Harrison Lake area as roads are closed ahead of the long weekend. The 65-hectare Bear Creek fire is the first fire of note in B.C. since July 9, when the Izman Creek blaze near Lytton lost that status. The designation is reserved for fires that are "creating an increased level of interest." There are more than 70 fire burning across the province, with about a third of them starting in the last 24 hours. -- With files from CHNL This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 31, 2025.
