Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) is investigating reports that two separate tornadoes may have touched down in Manitoba Wednesday.
Speaking to CTV News Winnipeg, Natalie Hassell, a warning preparedness meteorologist with ECCC, confirmed the weather service is investigating, but noted nothing has been confirmed at this time.
The first potential twister was in the Venlawn area, while the second was in the Brookdale area.
Hassell added there is no damage to report at either location.
A trio of warnings were issued by ECCC Wednesday, with the latest happening at 2 p.m. for the RM of Dauphin, including Sifton and Valley River. At the time, ECCC said there was a severe thunderstorm in the area that could produce a tornado.
The warning has since been downgraded to a severe thunderstorm warning.
