Severe thunderstorm warning for City of Toronto issued
Weather radar at 3:30 PM a line of thunderstorms extends from east of Mount Forest to near Hamilton to Dunnville moving northeast at around 90 km/h. It will affect the greater Toronto area to Niagara between 4 and 5 PM. These storms are producing fairly extensive strong winds with damaging gusts to 110 km/h. A potential tornado was reported by the Ontario provincial poilice with damage in the town of blandford-Blenheim to the southwest of Kitchener. Local large hail to 2 centimetres and more isolated torndoes are also possible. Torrential downpours and increasing frequency in lightning are also expected.
Widely scattered thunderstorms are occurring across Southern Ontario ahead of a low pressure system over Michigan. New thunderstorms are developing in a general swath from Southern Georgian Bay to Eastern Lake Erie and will intensify as they quickly track northeastwards reaching Eastern Ontario late in the day. Isolated storms are also developing in Eastern Ontario ahead of the main band. The main concerns are large hail up to 3 centimetres and damaging wind gusts to 110 km/h. There will also be an increasing threat during the afternoon for an isolated tornado. This watch may be upgraded to a tornado watch as the storms develop, if their evolution dictate a higher tornado risk. Frequent intense lightning and torrential downpours may also be expected. |

It was super intense! :nervous: |
