Severe thunderstorm warnings have been lifted for the Fort Qu’Appelle, Moosomin and Yorkton areas.
Environment Canada meteorologist Brad Vrolijk says the system was capable of producing very strong wind gusts, nickel to ping pong ball size hail and heavy rain.
“Some of these thunderstorms could very well be severe,” he said. “It’s very fluid, lots could change.”
As for tornadoes, Vrolijk says it was a possibility, but an unlikely one.
“Any of these storms could potentially produce one but it’s not expected to be like tornado outbreak day or the main threat from any of these thunderstorms,” he said. ” It’s just a secondary potential hazard with some of them.
“We will have more information as the afternoon goes on.”
Severe thunderstorm warnings are issued when imminent or occurring thunderstorms are likely to produce or are producing large hail, damaging winds or torrential rainfall.
