ECCC advises residents to take cover if a thunderstorm approaches, and protect themselves from flying debris and hail.

1:14 p.m. - Severe thunderstorm watch issued

A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for parts of southern Saskatchewan, including Regina, Coronach, Estevan, and surrounding communities.

According to ECCC, an unstable airmass ahead of a developing low pressure system in the province has created favourable conditions for severe thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon.

Large hail, strong wind gusts, and heavy rain is possible, with the weather threat expected to diminish later Tuesday evening.

If you hear thunder, the weather agency advises you to go indoors, as lightning will follow. ECCC also says not to drive through flooded roadways, as heavy rain can cause flash flooding and reduced visibility.

12:59 p.m. - Tornado watch issued

A tornado watch was issued for parts of southeastern Saskatchewan on Tuesday.

According to ECCC just before 1 p.m., conditions are favourable for the development of severe thunderstorms, which have the potential to produce tornadoes.

Strong winds, large hail, and heavy rain are also possible, with thunderstorms expected to begin around 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. local time.

The weather agency says the storms will begin discreetly before growing into a “large linear thunderstorm complex” that will move eastward across southern Manitoba Tuesday evening.

Areas under the watch include Carlyle, Carnduff, Oxbow, and surrounding communities.

In the event of a tornado, or if a tornado watch is issued for your area, ECCC advises residents to go indoors to a room on the lowest floor and make sure to leave any free-standing shelters.

ECCC says if you hear a roaring sound, see a funnel cloud, swirling debris on the ground, or threatening weather, take cover right away.
