Tornado warnings for several regions in Alberta have been canceled after a tornado was spotted in central Alberta.

Environment Canada issued tornado warnings for multiple regions Tuesday afternoon, which have since been downgraded.

Earlier Tuesday afternoon, a tornado was reported with the thunderstorm five kilometers north of Alliance, although it weakened soon after.

Alliance is about 100 miles east of Red Deer.

“This is a dangerous and potentially life-threatening situation. Take cover immediately if threatening weather approaches,” the warning said.
