A cold front blowing across southern Ontario this afternoon and evening is expected to bring thunderstorms to the area – Environment Canada has issued a severe thunderstorm watch.
Strong wind gusts and heavy rain are expected, small hail is possible, and the threat of a tornado “cannot be ruled out,” according to Environment Canada.
Heavy downpours are also likely to cause flash flooding and water pooling on roads.
Huron County in particular is under a severe thunderstorm warning, with more severe conditions expected to make landfall south of Bayfield. Wind gusts in that region are expected to reach up to 90 km/h, with up to nickel sized hail possible.
