Shortly after 4:30 p.m., Environment Canada issued tornado warnings for portions of southeast Saskatchewan as a system moved into the region. 

The warnings were issued for areas to the east of Estevan - primarily the Alameda and Oxbow areas, and advised people in the area to watch for the potential of a tornado. 

The warning stated it is a dangerous and potentially life-threatening situation and people in the area should take cover immediately if threatening weather approaches. If anyone sees a funnel cloud, swirling debris near the ground, flying debris or any threatening weather, or hears a roaring sound, they should take cover immediately. The warning also advises people to go indoors to a room on the lowest floor, away from outside walls and windows, such as a basement, bathroom, stairwell or interior closet. Those who are in mobile homes, vehicles, tents, trailers or temporary or free=standing shelter should move to a strong building if they can. As a last resort, lie in a low spot and protect your head.
