KAWARTHA LAKES-Environment Canada has issued a Weather Advisory for parts of Kawartha Lakes.
Weather advisory in effect for:
- Lindsay – Southern Kawartha Lakes
Officials say funnel clouds are possible early this evening under a line of showers just south of Lake Simcoe. There have been reports of funnel clouds near Bradford.
These types of funnel clouds are generated by weak rotation under rapidly growing clouds or weak thunderstorms. This weak rotation is normally not a danger near the ground. However, there is a chance that this rotation could intensify and become a weak landspout tornado.
Landspout tornadoes do not usually cause significant damage but can still be dangerous. They can be strong enough to topple trees, damage roofs or toss debris short distances.
