A funnel cloud advisory has been issued for parts of Saskatchewan.
Environment Canada said funnel clouds are possible as showers and thunderstorms move across Saskatchewan on Friday.
The advisory covers Regina, Moose Jaw, Estevan, Weyburn, Outlook, Humboldt, and surrounding regions.
Funnel clouds are most likely to happen during the afternoon through to the early evening.
There is no significant tornado threat, Environment Canada said, but people should be on alert if one is spotted.
Funnel clouds can produce short-lived landspout tornadoes with little warning.
Although they do not usually cause significant damage, landspout tornadoes can be strong enough to topple trees, damage roofs or toss debris short distances.
