Ontario provincial police received an unconfirmed report of a funnel
cloud near Chesterville in southeastern Ontario at about 5.20 PM this
afternoon.
As has been the case over the past several days, conditions remain
favourable for the development of funnel clouds into the early
evening hours. These types of funnel clouds can form out of
thunderstorms or large cumulus clouds and normally do not reach the
ground.
However there is always a risk that one of these funnels may briefly
touch down as a weak tornado and 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 that these funnel clouds will normally appear
with little or no warning.
The thunderstorm activity and associated funnel cloud threat will
diminish shortly after sunset.
Listen for further statements. Additional information may also be
found by consulting the latest public forecast. The next public
forecast will be issued by 11 am.
