Severe Thunderstorm Watch issued for south Muskoka

Issued by: Environment and Climate Change Canada

Recommended Action


Emergency Management Ontario recommends that you take cover immediately if threatening weather approaches.

Description


Conditions are favourable for the development of severe thunderstorms that may be capable of producing strong wind gusts, large hail and heavy rain.

Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop early this afternoon as a slow moving cold front moves through southern Ontario. The severe thunderstorm threat will diminish this evening.

###

Large hail can damage property and cause injury. Strong wind gusts can toss loose objects, damage weak buildings, break branches off trees and overturn large vehicles. Intense lightning is likely with any thunderstorm that develops. Heavy downpours can cause flash floods and water pooling on roads.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ONstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports using #ONStorm.
