BARRIE, ONT. -- Environment Canada says conditions are ripe for funnel clouds to develop into Saturday evening.
The weather agency has issued a weather advisory for communities, including Barrie, Collingwood, Orillia, Innisfil, Angus and New Tecumseth.
Environment Canada says the type of funnels that could spring up are generated by rotation under fast-growing clouds or weak thunderstorms. They are not usually a danger but could intensify into weak landspout tornadoes.
It does caution that funnel clouds can appear with little or no warning and that you should be prepared to take cover.
A possible landspout tornado was reported near Almonte at about 3 p.m. Saturday.
