Tornado watch for
Minnedosa - Neepawa - Russell - Riding Mountain National Park:
Funnel clouds have been observed over portions of southwestern Manitoba.
Conditions are favourable for the development of funnel clouds or weak tornadoes. These types of funnel clouds form out of large cumulus clouds or very weak thunderstorms and normally do not have the energy to reach the ground. However one or two of these funnels may briefly touch down and can become destructive over a very small area. Treat all funnel clouds and tornadoes seriously and avoid when possible. Should one develop overhead take shelter until it dissipates. Remember these funnel clouds will normally appear with little or no warning.

I had a funnel cloud rip through my office today....a funnel cloud wearing a carefully matched bright green summer outfit and a mouth filled with critique and anger.
She called and warned that she would be blowing in. Not totally unexpected but what the heck can one do about it. I just sat in my chair and endured the blustery wind. I survived.
Thank God!
