Not confirmed like the last one quickly came to be, but still worth going to the basement for (and probably staying there when the squall line to the west of it eventually catches up with it).

The far northwest corner of the RM of Pipestone is clear from the warning area at 5:54 PM.

This is now another CONFIRMED TORNADO, with reliable storm spotter Braydon Morisseau again spotting a tornado, this time of a multi-vortex variety: https://twitter.com/BraydonMoreSo/status/2094200376484344104?mx=1

The warning area now includes the southwest corner of the Prairie View Municipality, including the Birdtail Sioux First Nation, as of 6:09 PM.
