A thin funnel cloud has been reported from around 4pm near Chip Lake, west of Edmonton. The cell that produced it is moving west towards the Edson area but it's not clear if it has lifted or if it is still producing a funnel.

A landspout tornado was reported with this storm southwest of Olds at 12:52pm. These storms are slowly tracking to the southeast. The landspout most likely dissipated by now but it looks like the environment is in place for more funnel cloud or landspout tornado development so please keep an eye out in southern Alberta today with any storms that develop.

🔴 LIVE TONIGHT AT 6 PM:
I'll be joined by Dr. David Sills, Director of the Northern Tornadoes Project, to bring clarity to the concerns around Environment Canada’s radar research program.
We’ll be discussing why radar research matters, how it helps forecasters issue better severe weather warnings, and why this issue is so important for tornado detection and public safety across Canada.
Link to our YouTube channel is in the comments below.
Please share to help spread the word!

🚨 WE NEED YOUR HELP, #ALBERTA! 🚨 #abstorm
Environment Canada is shutting down its critical radar research program. 🤦♂️
This is a huge problem because Canada’s radars still need significant improvements to help forecasters issue more accurate tornado warnings, and without the radar research team, those improvements may never happen.
Please click the link in the comments below and follow the easy steps to send two letters: one to the federal minister responsible for Environment Canada and one to your local MP, urging Environment Canada to reconsider.
Thank you so much for your help!
Sincerely,
- Adam & the IW team
