Environment Canada meteorologists have issued a tornado warning after tracking a troublesome thunderstorm spotted near Stranraer on Thursday afternoon.
The weather service said the storm is possibly producing a tornado and/or damaging winds, and large hail and locally intense rainfall are also possible and it is a “very dangerous and potentially life-threatening situation.”
Environment Canada said extra care and attention should be exercised in and around Herschel, Marriott, Rosetown, Elrose and Fiske.
Environment Canada said people should take cover immediately in a basement, interior room, or a sturdy shelter when threatening weather approaches. If no shelter is available, lie in a low spot and protect your head from flying debris.
If you are out on the water when threatening weather approaches, return to shore and seek shelter, if possible. Otherwise, move away from the path of the tornado to escape. Wear your lifejacket and lie face down and protect your head.
To report severe weather, send an email to SKstorm@ec.gc.ca, call 1-800-239-0484 or post reports on X using #SKStorm.
