EAST CENTRAL — Environment Canada is warning that conditions are favourable for the development of funnel clouds in most of east central Saskatchewan.
The exception is the area around Porcupine Plain and Hudson Bay.
The advisory was issued at 10:33 am on June 22.
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.
Landspout tornadoes do not usually cause significant damage but can still be dangerous. They can be strong enough to topple trees, damage roofs or toss debris short distances.
UPDATE: The advisory is over as of 7:36 pm on June 22.
