Weather Advisory for Funnel Clouds
Environment Canada has issued a weather advisory for the Humboldt, Outlook, Wynyard, Canora, Regina, Yorkton, Moose Jaw, Estevan and Moosomin areas for conditions will be favourable for the development of funnel clouds today.
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, but there is a chance that this rotation could intensify and become a weak landspout tornado.

Today
After a cloudy start to the day with temperatures dipping down to 12 degrees, skies cleared to give us a sunny morning.
The sunshine helped warm us up into the low 20s before noon as a few cumulus clouds bubbled up.

Those clouds will continue this afternoon with an arctic high pressure system sliding through keeping us a bit cooler with an expected high around 23 degrees or so later on.
Tonight
A few clouds will linger this evening with otherwise mostly clear skies as we drop down to a cool low into single digits.
Thursday
Partly to mostly sunny skies are expected to start off our Thursday with some more clouds building in during the afternoon with a very slight chance of showers.
After a cooler start to the day, the mercury should rise up into the low-to-mid 20s for an afternoon high with a light southwesterly wind.
Friday
Clouds and a good chance of isolated, patchy showers slip through on Friday as a weak upper low rolls in and destabilizes our atmosphere.
Depending on the exact timing and extent of the rain that hits the area, we could see a daytime high anywhere from 22 to 24 degrees in the afternoon.
Long Weekend Outlook
Clouds and a chance of showers linger behind that system to start the long weekend on Saturday with a daytime high around 23 degrees before skies clear out to start Sunday before more clouds bubble up late in the day as we climb to a high in the mid 20s.
For Saskatchewan Day on Monday, clouds should clear out as we rise up to an afternoon high hoping to top out in the mid 20s once again.
