Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) says the weather could turn sour in the Red Deer area Friday afternoon.
A special weather statement was issued just before 11 a.m. saying conditions will be favourable for the development of funnel clouds.
Per ECCC:
These types of funnel clouds are generated by weak rotation under rapidly growing clouds or weak thunderstorms. This weak rotation is normally not a danger near the ground. However, there is a chance that this rotation could intensify and become a weak landspout tornado.
