Environment Canada has issued a special weather advisory for Humboldt, Wynyard, Wadena, Lanigan, Foam Lake, and surrounding areas.

Conditions will be favourable for the development of funnel clouds today. Unconfirmed sightings have occurred in the Quill Lake, Leroy, and Jansen areas. 

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 and stay tuned to local radio.
