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

A low-pressure system combined with an unstable airmass has lead to an environment favourable for severe thunderstorms. These storms are expected until late this evening before weakening and moving out of the region.

Strong wind gusts are also possible. Remember, severe thunderstorms can produce tornadoes. Heavy downpours can cause flash floods and water pooling on roads. Lightning kills and injures Canadians every year. Remember, when thunder roars, go indoors!

Severe thunderstorm watches are issued when atmospheric conditions are favourable for the development of thunderstorms that could produce one or more of the following: large hail, damaging winds, or torrential rainfall.
