Environment and Climate Change Canada is warning funnel clouds could develop in parts of southwestern Manitoba on Friday afternoon.
The weather agency issued a special weather statement shortly after 12:30 p.m.
'Weak thundershowers are expected to develop in the area this afternoon and they will have the potential to produce a funnel cloud. They are expected to weaken early this evening,' ECCC wrote.
The special weather statement encompasses more than a dozen municipalities in the region and includes places like Rossburn, Minnedosa, Elkhorn, Virden, Melita, Souris, and Deloraine. Turtle Mountain Provincial Park and Riding Mountain National Park are also under the advisory.
'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,' ECCC explains. 'However, there is a chance that this rotation could intensify and become a weak landspout tornado.'
This is a developing story.
