A significant, widespread severe weather situation is underway across part of southern Ontario. Storms will likely join up into a squall line, hitting northwestern counties earlier in the evening and tracking southeast into the night.
Because our atmosphere will be so potent, strong storms are possible in the afternoon, but the evening is the main time frame severe weather is expected.
A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is now in effect for the entire state until 11pm tonight. Torontonians can expect strong wind gusts, large hail, heavy rain and the possibility of isolated brief tornadoes. Take cover immediately, if threatening weather approaches. There isn’t a place outside that is safe during a thunderstorm.
