Funnel clouds warned for the region

May 2, 2017 | 12:01 PM

Environment Canada is warning conditions will be favourable for the development of funnel clouds today.

Green Lake
R.M. of Beaver River including Pierceland and Goodsoil
R.M. of Big River including Big River and Chitek Lake
R.M. of Loon Lake including Loon Lake and Makwa
R.M. of Meadow Lake including Waterhen Res.

These types of funnel clouds are generated by weak rotation under rapidly growing clouds or weak thunderstorms. This weak rotation is normally not a danger near the ground. However, there is a chance that this rotation could intensify and become a weak landspout tornado.

Treat any funnel cloud sighting seriously. Should a funnel cloud develop nearby, prepare to take shelter. These funnel clouds usually appear with little or no warning.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ec.storm.ec@canada.ca or tweet reports using #SKStorm.
