Weather patterns are ripe for funnel clouds on Sunday, Environment Canada says, with the agency reporting such formations north of Saskatoon at around 2.15 p.m.

“Conditions are favourable for funnel cloud development over portions of the central grainbelt this afternoon, and are associated with some of the showers and weak thunderstorms moving through. They should dissipate by early evening,” the agency said in an alert.

Funnel clouds occur when weak rotation is paired with fast-growing clouds or weak thunderstorms. Such rotations can intensify and form weak land-spout tornadoes.

Environment Canada asks that the public report severe weather to ec.storm.ec@canada.ca or by tweeting with the hashtag #SKStorm.
