Around 3:10 p.m., another tornado was spotted southeast of Kenaston, Sask. The only damage leftover appears to be a graveyard.
No injuries have been reported at this time.
Numerous heavy downpours along with hail were also reported to Environment Canada. Imperial, Sask. saw baseball-sized hail in the afternoon.
The agency warns people that twisters are erratic and can turn-on-a-dime.
As always, if threatening weather approaches, take cover indoors immediately.
Tornado season typically lasts until mid-August in Saskatchewan.
