==DISCUSSION==
CONDITIONS WILL BE FAVOURABLE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF FUNNEL CLOUDS
TODAY.
WEAK THUNDERSHOWERS HAVE DEVELOPED EARLY THIS AFTERNOON IN SOUTHWEST
MANITOBA AND THE RED RIVER VALLEY AND ARE EXPECTED TO TRACK
SOUTHEAST. THEY HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE BRIEF FUNNEL CLOUDS.
THEY ARE EXPECTED TO WEAKEN LATER THIS AFTERNOON.
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.
IF CONDITIONS BECOME MORE FAVOURABLE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF
LANDSPOUT TORNADOES, WATCHES AND WARNINGS WILL BE ISSUED BY
ENVIRONMENT CANADA.
LANDSPOUT TORNADOES DO NOT USUALLY CAUSE SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE BUT CAN
STILL BE DANGEROUS. THEY CAN BE STRONG ENOUGH TO TOPPLE TREES,
DAMAGE ROOFS OR TOSS DEBRIS SHORT DISTANCES.
PLEASE CONTINUE TO MONITOR ALERTS AND FORECASTS ISSUED BY
ENVIRONMENT CANADA. TO REPORT SEVERE WEATHER, SEND AN EMAIL TO
MBSTORM(AT)EC.GC.CA, CALL 1-800-239-0484 OR POST REPORTS ON X USING
