Canada’s national weather service has confirmed a tornado touched down near the community of Pelly, Sask. on Sunday.

In an update issued Monday morning, Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) confirmed the tornado, which reportedly touched down at around 6:10 p.m. near the village located around 290 kilometres northeast of Regina.

Photos and videos posted to social media seemingly captured the tornado and the damage left in its wake - which included shattered trees and power lines.

Additionally, a possible tornado was reported at 2:17 p.m. near Stornoway, which is situated around 75 kilometres south of Pelly.

Currently, there is not enough evidence to determine if a tornado occurred in that instance.

The weather service is collaborating with the Northern Tornadoes Project as it investigates both incidents.

Much of southern Saskatchewan was slammed by torrential downpours along with severe winds and hail over the weekend.

According to ECCC, 24 millimetre (mm), or quarter sized hail was reported in Burgis Beach on Good Spirit Lake and 45 mm or golf ball sized hail was reported near North Portal Sunday evening.
