UPDATE: As of 1:36pm, Environment Canada has issued a funnel cloud advisory for the Humboldt area, stating that conditions are favourable for the development of funnel clouds.


A funnel cloud was spotted near Muenster early Wednesday afternoon.

Erin McInnes and David Millette both sent photos to Bolt FM shortly before 1:00pm through social media, with the cloud poking out near the small village.

Environment Canada says that funnel clouds develop under fast-growing clouds and weak thunderstorms and are typically not a danger near the ground.

Wednesday's forecasted high is 20 degrees with a mix of sun and cloud and a slight chance of seeing light showers or thunderstorms.
