A series of severe thunderstorm watches and warnings as well as warnings of tornado activity were issued by Environment and Climate Change Canada late Wednesday afternoon.

Severe thunderstorm watches and warnings continue for much of the southeastern part of the province including Regina and Moose Jaw.

Several unconfirmed reports of tornados touching down were made near Foam Lake – with harrowing photos being taken by witnesses and posted to social media.

In a previous interview with a meteorologist from Environment Canada – it was shared with 620 CKRM that atmospheric conditions over the last few weeks have been perfect for tornadic activity.
