A severe thunderstorm watch however remains in effect for Huron-Perth as of 9:25 p.m.
The risk of severe weather was possible as a band of thunderstorms travelled east from Michigan. The main hazards of which included wind gusts of up to 100km/h.
Showers and thunderstorms will linger into Tuesday, along and ahead of a cold front.

High pressure is expected to set up shop over the Great lakes Wednesday, and sunshine is in the forecast for the last long weekend of the summer.
