Weather advisory issued over possible thunderstorms, hail, wind, and funnel clouds

Environment Canada is calling for the possibility of funnel clouds today in the Madawaska Valley area.

As a result, a weather advisory has been issued for the area, calling for scattered thunderstorms this afternoon and evening, which could come with dime-sized hail and winds up to 70 kilometres an hour.

The weather agency says funnel clouds could also develop, which could produce a weak landspout tornado.

You are being reminded to treat funnel cloud sightings seriously, and get indoors if you see one.
