Funnel clouds have been viewed in the La Ronge area this afternoon.
This comes after Environment Canada issued a weather advisory about possible thunderstorms and a low pressure system that could create funnel clouds. The advisory covered La Ronge, Prince Albert National Park, Montreal Lake, and much of central and south-east Saskatchewan.
They expected any of those clouds to have a weak rotation, and could create landspout tornado that could be strong enough to do a bit of damage – but it wasn’t likely.

This seems to be the case from photos that have surfaced online. Unlike tornados in the south, this one was see through, but had the tell-tale spout of a funnel cloud.
The weather advisory was still in place by late afternoon on Friday, after heavy rain hit the Waskesiu area and other parts of the province.
