We were in the grey risk zone for light thundershower possibilities at most, forecast models originally showed Wednesday as a non-event day. What actually happened was a line a rain over Regina kicked off strong convection from Moose Jaw to Bethune for only a few radar updates. It looks like that tiny line of storm cells was able to produce multiple weak tornado funnels that were able to disturb the ground. Still waiting, early this morning to hear some kind of official confirmation but from the video there seems to be no doubt at least one tornado will be confirmed that was near Bethune, the other one was allegedly north of Moose Jaw, not far off from Bethune.
