Tornado watch for

Leduc - Camrose - Wetaskiwin - Tofield issued

Funnel clouds have been reported to the east of Edmonton International airport.

Conditions are favourable for the development of funnel clouds and tornadoes. These types of tornadoes form out of weak thunderstorms and are usually not as destructive as their severe thunderstorm cousin. They are difficult to track with Doppler radar and can appear without warning. They normally move slowly and can last for many minutes. They often appear as a giant column of dust from the ground to the bottom of the thunderstorm. Their destructive power is usually felt over a very small area.

Treat all funnel clouds and tornadoes seriously and avoid when possible. Should one develop nearby take shelter underground or in a reinforced structure like a bathroom or interior closet. If you are in your vehicle try to move away from the tornado at right angles.

Environment Canada continues to monitor the situation closely. Please continue to monitor your local media or weatheradio for further updates.

Should you spot a funnel cloud or tornado...And only if it is safe to do so...You can call 1-800-239-0484 to report your sighting. Please note this phone number is for reporting severe weather only.

Environment Canada has received reports of funnel clouds east of the Edmonton International airport. These storms have formed along a slow moving cloud front this is tracking southeast at 10 km/h. The environment will remain favourable for the formation of non supercell tornadoes for next few hours.

Funnel clouds have been reported over Vegreville and Bonnyville this evening.

Conditions are favourable for the development of funnel clouds or weak tornadoes. These types of funnel clouds form out of large cumulus clouds or very weak thunderstorms and normally do not have the energy to reach the ground. However one or two of these funnels may briefly touch down and can become destructive over a very small area. Treat all funnel clouds and tornadoes seriously and avoid when possible. Should one develop overhead take shelter until it dissipates. Remember these funnel clouds will normally appear with little or no warning.

Environment Canada continues to monitor the situation closely. Please continue to monitor your local media or weatheradio for further updates.

Should you spot a funnel cloud or tornado...And only if it is safe to do so...You can call 1-800-239-0484 to report your sighting. Please note this phone number is for reporting severe weather only.
