Severe thunderstorm watch issued, funnel clouds reported
SHARE ON:
4:40 p.m. - Tornado watch issued for Saskatoon and surrounding area is cancelled.
Much of central and southern Saskatchewan will be under the threat of severe weather Monday afternoon.
As of 1:30 p.m. Monday, a severe thunderstorm watch is active for much of the southeast and central Saskatchewan including Estevan, Weyburn, Regina, Moose Jaw, Fort Qu’Appelle and Humboldt.
Potential hazards include 2–3-centimetre hail, 30-50 millimetres of rainfall, 90km/h wind gusts, and possible isolated tornadoes.
The watch comes as a trough of low pressure has descended over western Canada, bringing the potential for scattered thunderstorms Monday afternoon.
Saskatoon and its surrounding area was under a tornado watch throughout Monday afternoon and stretching into the evening.
According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC,) a broken line of thunderstorms north of Saskatoon has already produced “numerous funnel clouds” by 12:30 p.m. Monday.
One of those funnel clouds was captured by Saskatoon resident Terry White. He shared this photo with CTV News, which he said was his view from around Miller Avenue:

The line of thunderstorms created an elevated risk of landspout tornadoes, which do not usually cause significant damage but can still be dangerous, according to Environment Canada.
Additionally, a special weather statement was in place for much of the southwest, due to the favourable conditions for funnel clouds.
“These types of funnel clouds are generated by weak rotation under rapidly growing clouds or weak thunderstorms,” the weather statement read.
“This weak rotation is normally not a danger near the ground. However, there’s a chance this rotation could intensify and become a weak landspout tornado.”
Regardless, ECCC warned residents to exercise caution. In the event of a tornado, residents were told to stay indoors on the lowest floor and take shelter away from outside walls and windows.
Those reporting severe weather are encouraged to email SKstorm@ec.gc.ca, call 1-800-239-0484 or post reports on X using #SKStorm.

WEATHER WARNING
ISSUED BY: ENVIRONMENT CANADA START DATE: TUESDAY JUN 23, 2026 11:11 AM END DATE: TUESDAY JUN 23, 2026 8:11 PM
CONDITIONS WILL BE FAVOURABLE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF FUNNEL CLOUDS TODAY.
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN SASKATCHEWAN AND SOUTHWESTERN MANITOBA. THERE IS AN ELEVATED RISK FOR FUNNEL CLOUDS IN THIS AREA, ESPECIALLY EARLY ON IN THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. THE THREAT FOR FUNNEL CLOUDS WILL DIMINISH EARLY THIS EVENING.
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.
IF CONDITIONS BECOME MORE FAVOURABLE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF LANDSPOUT TORNADOES, WATCHES AND WARNINGS WILL BE ISSUED BY ENVIRONMENT CANADA.
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.
PLEASE CONTINUE TO MONITOR ALERTS AND FORECASTS ISSUED BY ENVIRONMENT CANADA. TO REPORT SEVERE WEATHER, SEND AN EMAIL TO SKSTORM@EC.GC.CA, CALL 1-800-239-0484 OR POST REPORTS ON X USING #SKSTORM.
