A few hours later another tornado warning was issued for R.M. of Tecumseh including Stoughton Forget and Heward and R.M. of Griffin including Griffin and Froude, also in Saskatchewan. Environment Canada has yet to confirm whether or not either of these funnel clouds made contact with the ground.

NON-SEVERE WEATHER EXPECTED ON TUESDAY
Conditions on Tuesday will be calmer than the stormy conditions that were seen on Monday evening. A low pressure system that is tracking across the Prairies will continue to bring showers to eastern regions and parts of Manitoba could see up to 15 mm of rain by Tuesday morning.
Northwesterly winds will bring temperatures slightly down in Manitoba and to make matters worse, there will be cloud cover that will block out the sunlight. However, temperatures will likely rebound by Wednesday and Thursday.
Conditions will be seasonal and calm in Alberta and Saskatchewan with temperatures around 20 degrees or slightly higher. Southern areas could climb a few degrees above seasonal, which will make for a pleasant first week of September.
