Favourable conditions for funnel clouds: Environment Canada
Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for much of Manitoba, saying that conditions will be favourable for the development of funnel clouds.
The statement says funnel clouds are generated by weak rotation, which 'is normally not a danger near the ground,' but says that there is a chance that it could intensify and become a weak landspout tornado.
The special weather statement is currently in effect for over 50 locations, including Winnipeg, with conditions expected to last until the evening hours.
Environment Canada advises residents to report severe weather by email, calling 1-800-239-0484 or posting reports on X using #MBStorm.
