22 Tornado Warnings Across Central and Southern Saskatchewan

22 tornado warnings were issued across central and southern Saskatchewan by Environment Canada on Thursday afternoon and evening, along with multiple severe thunderstorm warnings.

The warnings stretched from southwest Saskatchewan to the Manitoba border from about 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Heavy rain, severe hail, and strong winds were all possible in the severe storms.

Canadian environmental meteorologist Terry Lang said that as of Friday, they confirmed one definite tornado touchdown near Morse, Sask.

Around 5:38 p.m., Lang said there were more than 200 tornado or severe thunderstorm warnings issued Thursday in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba.

Lang added that Thursday could be considered a typical stormy day in June in Saskatchewan, but he said the intensity might have seemed worse to people because the past two years have been quiet on the storm front due to drought.

Residents of Saskatchewan were able to capture some photos of the stormy weather Thursday and posted them on social media with warnings about a possible tornado on Friday or Saturday.
