Environment Canada is forecasting another day of unsettled weather in southern Manitoba. 

Mark Melsness says this comes one day after a funnel cloud was spotted around 4:30 p.m. between Ste. Anne and Ste. Genevieve. Melsness says there was a field of cumulus clouds and towering cumulus. He says sometimes under these towering cumulus, just as they really start to grow, small funnels can form in the updraft. Melsness says they are not known to last very long.

"Maybe a minute or two. But it sounds like this one wasn't anywhere near the ground and it was just brief."

According to Melsness, anyone in that general area at the time of the funnel cloud formation, probably will not have noticed anything other than what they were seeing visually. He describes it as a thin rope hanging out of the clouds.

Had it touched the ground, Melsness says it could have caused a bit of damage, though they tend to be pretty weak.

"But don't take them lightly," he warns. "If you do happen to see them at the ground, just keep your distance."

Meanwhile, a low pressure system is moving into western Manitoba. Melsness says this same system brought brief tornadoes to Saskatchewan yesterday; one east of Regina and another unconfirmed one near Swift current.

"So we'll see similar weather moving into western Manitoba (Wednesday) and probably over the southeast (Wednesday) night and then maybe even a repeat on Thursday," he says. "For sure with the heat and humidity and some weak systems moving through there's always the chance of some severe weather."
