A number of social media users captured Saskatchewan's first tornado of 2022 on Tuesday evening north west of Moose Jaw.
Environment Canada (EC) confirmed an EF-0 tornado touched down near Caron, Sask. around 7 p.m.
The tornado was a landspout that is suspected to have been generated by a strong thunderstorm interacting with a boundary, Environment Canada said in a preliminary weather summary Wednesday.
“Landspout tornadoes do not usually cause significant damage but can still be dangerous as they can topple trees, damage roofs, or toss debris a short distance,” EC said.
On the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, EF-0 is the lowest rating for a tornado, with wind speeds around 90-130 km/hr.
Environment Canada received one unconfirmed report of damage.
A storm that prompted severe thunderstorm warnings in several areas around Moose Jaw produced what was initially considered a "probable tornado" by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) around 7 p.m. Tuesday between the communities of Keeler and Caron.
Caron is approximately 100 kilometres west of Regina, Sask.
