(Photo by Ryan McCullough) Newborn Fawn Newborn fawn (Photo by Roland Huemmer) Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) said a moisture-laden, unstable air mass will push into southeastern Manitoba from the Dakotas on Friday. The air mass is part of a mix of conditions spreading north from the US that could produce thunderstorms in southern Manitoba later Friday afternoon and at night. The chance of afternoon storms is lower in the afternoon but increases in the evening hours. ECCC said the higher threat of severe storms will be in the Dakotas, but they can't be ruled out in the southeast and extreme southern Manitoba. According to the weather agency, the more likely scenario sees general showers and isolated thunderstorms Friday night into Saturday morning across southern Manitoba. Conditions on Friday are more stable in northern Manitoba. Most areas will be sunny with highs in the low 20s in the afternoon. The next meaningful chance of precipitation in wildfire-affected Flin Flon is on Sunday night, with rain expected. The rain is expected to continue until Tuesday as showers or rain. Air quality in the south could deteriorate this weekend. ECCC said smoke plumes from wildfires near Island Lake and Nopiming Provincial Park will spread into southern Manitoba from Friday night into Saturday morning. Poorer air quality is possible east of Lake Winnipeg and the Interlake, according to ECCC.

Second death confirmed in Banff rockslide as search resumes
A second death has been confirmed as a result of Thursday's rockslide in Banff National Park, as a search for other victims continues. Article content The RCMP and Parks Canada said in a 10:15 a.m. update that their search continued throughout the night and into the morning at Bow Glacier Falls in Banff National Park. Article content A second deceased hiker's body was recovered this morning, while the first death was confirmed to be a 70-year-old woman from Calgary. Article content 'RCMP are notifying their next of kin and no further information is available at this time,' the agencies said in a joint statement. They added that three injured hikers transported to hospital by STARS air ambulance and ground ambulance Thursday were all in stable condition. Article content As part of ongoing search efforts, Canada Task Force Two is conducting infrared flights, through their partners in the Calgary Police Service, in a continued effort to complete a thorough assessment. At the same time, a geotechnical engineer from the same organization will conduct a slope stability assessment. Article content 'The safety of first responders and park visitors is our top priority,' the statement said. Article content On Thursday at 1 p.m., Parks Canada received the first reports of a serious rockfall at Bow Glacier Falls, which is west of the Icefields Parkway (Highway 93N) near Bow Lake. The area is about 37 kilometres north of Lake Louise in Banff National Park. Article content Global TV identified the first deceased victim as Jutta Hinrichs, a retired occupational therapist from Calgary and a clinical education coordinator for the University of Alberta. Article content A local hikers group based out of Calgary, called Slow and Steady Hikers, posted on social media that some of their members were caught in the rockfall and that a member named Jutta had passed. Another had broken her arm, while three others were possibly buried in the rock. Hinrichs is listed as a member of that page. Article content Bow Lake and the trail to Bow Hut have reopened, according to RCMP and Parks Canada, but Bow Glacier Falls remains closed to all visitors. A no-fly zone enacted Thursday remains in place. Article content The Icefields Parkway remains open but with potential intermittent, short-term traffic stoppages in the vicinity of the incident. Article content The RCMP also wanted to let people know that people who were Alpine Club of Canada guests, staying at Bow Hut, were all reported safe. Those people will be exiting the area as per the planned route and schedule.
