A weather advisory is currently in effect for Dauphin, Sifton, and Valley River.
Conditions at the time of publishing are favourable for the development of funnel clouds. These 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. We will let you know if conditions become more favourable for developing landspout tornadoes, watches, and warnings.
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.
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.
