6:56 p.m. Tornado warning issued for southeast Sask.

A red-level tornado warning was issued for parts of southeast Saskatchewan, including Bienfait and North Portal.

Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) said meteorologists were tracking a severe thunderstorm that was possibly producing a tornado.

The weather agency said it was a very dangerous and potentially life-threatening situation.

Saskatchewan residents were advised to take cover immediately in a basement or a sturdy shelter when threatening weather approaches.

6:24 p.m. Orange level severe thunderstorm warning issued

An orange level severe thunderstorm warning was issued for a small portion of southeast Saskatchewan, including Estevan.

Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) said the thunderstorm is capable of producing damaging wind gusts, golf ball to tennis ball size hail, and heavy rain.

According to the weather agency, the storm is located near Estevan and is moving to the northeast at 50 km/h.

6:11 p.m. - City of Regina issued severe thunderstorm warning

Regina and surrounding areas were issued a yellow level severe thunderstorm warning.

Several viewers in Regina reported seeing loonie and toonie sized hail.

6:03 p.m. - Severe thunderstorm warning expands

A yellow level severe thunderstorm warning has expanded to more areas in Saskatchewan, including Radville, Stoughton, and several areas north of Regina.

4:46 p.m. - Severe thunderstorm warning issued

Parts of southern Saskatchewan, including Davidson and surrounding areas, have been issued a yellow level severe thunderstorm warning.

According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), a thunderstorm, which is moving to the northeast, is capable of producing damaging wind gusts of up to 110 km/h, up to quarter size hail, and rain up to 50 millimetres.

ECCC advises residents to take cover if a thunderstorm approaches, and protect themselves from flying debris and hail.

1:14 p.m. - Severe thunderstorm watch issued

A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for parts of southern Saskatchewan, including Regina, Coronach, Estevan, and surrounding communities.

According to ECCC, an unstable airmass ahead of a developing low pressure system in the province has created favourable conditions for severe thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon.

Large hail, strong wind gusts, and heavy rain is possible, with the weather threat expected to diminish later Tuesday evening.

If you hear thunder, the weather agency advises you to go indoors, as lightning will follow. ECCC also says not to drive through flooded roadways, as heavy rain can cause flash flooding and reduced visibility.

12:59 p.m. - Tornado watch issued

A tornado watch was issued for parts of southeastern Saskatchewan on Tuesday.

According to ECCC just before 1 p.m., conditions are favourable for the development of severe thunderstorms, which have the potential to produce tornadoes.

Strong winds, large hail, and heavy rain are also possible, with thunderstorms expected to begin around 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. local time.

The weather agency says the storms will begin discreetly before growing into a “large linear thunderstorm complex” that will move eastward across southern Manitoba Tuesday evening.

Areas under the watch include Carlyle, Carnduff, Oxbow, and surrounding communities.

In the event of a tornado, or if a tornado watch is issued for your area, ECCC advises residents to go indoors to a room on the lowest floor and make sure to leave any free-standing shelters.

ECCC says if you hear a roaring sound, see a funnel cloud, swirling debris on the ground, or threatening weather, take cover right away.
