Three tornadoes touched down in Manitoba this week, two of them in the Winnipeg area.
The potentially dangerous weather events were confirmed by the Northern Tornadoes Project at Western University in London, Ont.
Researchers confirmed funnel clouds spotted late Wednesday afternoon touched down northeast and east of the city. Both were classified as “weak.”

The twister near Dugald resulted in crop and minor tree damage.
The first, near Birds Hill Provincial Park just after 5 p.m., had an estimated wind speed of 115 km/h. No injuries were reported, and only minor tree damage was discovered.
The second was confirmed near Dugald at 5:30 p.m. No injuries were reported, but the twister left crop and minor tree damage.
There were no reports of injuries or damage after a weak tornado was confirmed near Melita on Tuesday evening.
