SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT FOR:

---------------------------------------------------------------------

==DISCUSSION==



THUNDERSTORMS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE BRIEF FUNNEL CLOUDS THIS 

AFTERNOON AND EARLY 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 

ONSTORM(AT)EC.GC.CA OR POST REPORTS ON X USING (HASH)ONSTORM.
