Environment Canada issued a number of tornado warnings to southeast Saskatchewan communities Monday afternoon. After starting near Yorkton, the worrisome weather made its way towards the Manitoba border.

A tornado warning was issued for the RM of Saltcoats by the weather agency at 3:14 p.m. CST. The town of Saltcoats is located about 30 kilometres southeast of Yorkton.

That warning was ended about 45 minutes later, but was extended to the nearby RM of Churchbridge at 3:41 p.m.  

Around the same time, a severe thunderstorm warning in the RM of Langenburg was upgraded to a tornado warning.

All of the warnings ended around 5 p.m.

Environment Canada said there is still the possibility for "damaging winds, large hail, and locally intense rainfall" into Monday evening.

Owen Parker shared several photos of the storm on Twitter as it moved across the area:
