A severe thunderstorm warning for the region has ended. 

A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect for a large portion of southern Ontario, including Grey-Bruce, Huron-Perth, London-Middlesex, Oxford-Brant, and Sarnia-Lambton.

Scattered thunderstorms pushed into the region this afternoon and continued into the early evening while a cold front pushes through.

"You'll feel muggy conditions, heading out the door, grab your umbrella — we'll have a round of showers Wednesday morning and then expecting another round of showers and thunderstorms heading into Wednesday evening," said CTV News London Meteorologist Julie Atchison.

With a forecast high of 26 C, it will feel like the low to mid-30s with the humidex.
