Tornado warning cancelled; watch remains active across the region
A tornado warning for parts of southeast Saskatchewan was called off, but a broader weather watch is still in effect as storms continue to threaten the area.
Earlier this afternoon, Environment Canada issued a tornado warning that covered a swath of communities stretching from Outlook to Grenfell. Residents were told to seek shelter immediately, and sirens sounded in several towns.
By early evening, however, the warning was officially cancelled. Meteorologists said the rotation that sparked the alert had weakened enough that a tornado was no longer likely. "The threat has diminished, but we’re not completely out of the woods yet," one forecaster explained, adding a hint of caution.
Even though the warning is gone, the broader severe‑weather watch remains on the books. That means gusty winds, heavy rain and hail could still roll through the area over the next few hours. Emergency services are keeping a close eye on radar loops, ready to issue another warning if conditions worsen.
Local officials are urging people not to let their guard down. "Just because the tornado warning is lifted doesn’t mean the weather is suddenly calm," said the Regina Emergency Management Coordinator. Schools and businesses are advised to monitor updates and be prepared for possible disruptions.
If you’re out on the road, slow down, keep your headlights on and be ready for sudden downpours. And, as always, stay tuned to local radio, TV or the Environment Canada website for the latest information.
