Environment and Climate Change Canada issued a weather statement Tuesday afternoon warning of the potential formation of funnel clouds in southern Alberta.
Shortly after 1 p.m., the agency announced conditions were favourable for the generation of funnel clouds that were unlikely to pose a danger near the ground.
The funnel cloud advisories covered an area stretching from Red Deer south to the U.S. border, along the Alberta-Saskatchewan boundary. The statement does not include the City of Calgary.
Neither a warning nor watch was declared, but the advisory encouraged anyone who spots a funnel cloud to take shelter.
