Environment Canada says it appears there was no tornado west of Melville Sunday, after a Tornado Warning was issued for the city and surrounding areas.

Strong rotation was seen in the super cell that passed over the area, but no touchdowns have been confirmed at this time.

Meteorologist Dave Carlsen said the storm was still severe in nature.

“Yeah we got reports of quarter sized hail near Duff, radar was indicating even larger hail than that in the area but it may have been over unpopulated areas so we may never hear about that,” he said.

Areas east of Weyburn also got hit hard on Sunday.
The strongest wind gusts were in Manitoba, but Nipawin did record one gust over 80 km/h.

Carlsen adds there could be some scattered showers around the province with the odd thunderstorm to start this week, but it looks like nothing too severe.
