UNITED COUNTIES OF SD&G, Ontario – Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for the region.
The statement warns that funnel clouds could be sighted i the area.
“These types of funnel clouds are generated by weak rotation under rapidly growing clouds or weak thunderstorms,” the statement reads. “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.
Treat any funnel cloud sighting seriously. Should a funnel cloud develop nearby, prepare to take shelter. These funnel clouds usually appear with little or no warning.”
