Environment Canada has issued a tornado warning for parts of Saskatchewan, including areas near Saskatoon, as severe thunderstorms capable of producing tornadoes move through the region. The warning, issued on July 10, 2026, at 4:04 PM EDT, advises residents to take immediate shelter.
Areas Affected
The warning covers parts of central and southern Saskatchewan, with meteorologists tracking a line of intense thunderstorms that may produce tornadoes, damaging winds, large hail, and heavy rain. Residents in the warned areas are urged to move to a basement or interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building, away from windows and doors.
Safety Precautions
Environment Canada recommends that people in affected areas monitor weather alerts closely and be prepared to take action. Mobile homes, vehicles, and outdoor structures are not safe during a tornado. If you are caught outdoors, seek shelter in a low-lying area and protect your head.
Previous Warnings
This warning follows a series of severe weather events in Saskatchewan this summer, including hailstorms and flooding. The province has experienced above-average temperatures and humidity, contributing to unstable atmospheric conditions.
Residents are advised to stay tuned to local news and Environment Canada updates for further information. The tornado warning is expected to remain in effect until the storms pass, likely later this evening.
