They say conditions are favourable for the development of funnel clouds this afternoon into early this evening. These types of funnel clouds are generated by weak rotation under rapidly growing clouds or weak thunderstorms. This weak rotation is normally not a danger near the ground. However, there is a chance that this rotation could intensify and become a weak landspout tornado.

Environment Canada says to keep your eyes on weather updates throughout the day and report severe weather when you spot it.
