The warning follows a stormy day in the southeastern region of the province on Sunday, which included hail the size of golf balls and reports of funnel clouds in Storthoaks, Saint Antoine and Redvers, northeast of Estevan.  

Further north, Environment Canada had a rainfall warning in effect on Monday, covering a large area around La Loche.  

“Heavy rainfall with total amounts of 80 to 90 mm are expected,” the weather service said in a statement.  

“Strong winds, gusting to 70 km/h, will accompany the rain on Monday, which may result in tree fall damage.”
