Twitter user, Slappyman, reported seeing a funnel cloud south of Coaldale shortly before 15:30, but says it never touched down.

Environment Canada issued a tornado watch at 15:43 this afternoon. An unstable airmass has settled over Southern Alberta. Conditions are favourable for the continued formation of weak funnel clouds for the next few hours.

    Kim – I saw the same funnel at 3:10 from north Lethbridge – it was quite a bit larger and lost a lot of size as it moved east – things you don’t expect to see on a cold day LOL

    Which paved road were you on when you took the picture?

    I didn’t see it. That’s someone else’s photo.

    I took that photo on Highway 845 just south of the Jail road, south of Coaldale.
