If you live in southern or central Saskatchewan, you may want to keep an eye on the sky. A recent weather advisory issued on Sunday evening warned residents of potential funnel clouds in the area. The advisory, which was issued at 5:26 PM, cautioned that scattered thunderstorms over the southern half of the province would continue into the evening along a trough of low pressure.

The affected area of the advisory covered the southwestern edge of the province, stretching as far north as Wilkie and as far east as Estevan. Residents in these areas were advised to be on the lookout for funnel clouds, as well as small hail and gusty winds, which were likely to accompany the thunderstorms.

According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), funnel clouds are created by weak rotation under rapidly growing clouds or weak thunderstorms. While this weak rotation is typically not a danger near the ground, there is a possibility that it could intensify and become a weak land spout tornado. In more severe cases, appropriate watches and warnings would be issued by ECCC if conditions become more favorable for the development of tornadoes.
