Funnel cloud advisory issued Thursday by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) for southern Manitoba has ended.

The advisory was issued around 3 p.m. Thursday and ended just after 6 p.m.

ECCC said funnel clouds are created by weak rotations under storms or rapidly growing clouds, and is not normally a danger near the ground. However, there is a chance rotations could intensify and form a weak landspout tornado. ECCC said warnings and watches are issued if conditions are ideal for larger tornado development.
