Monday: The long weekend may end with storms in southern Ontario
Forecasters are watching for thunderstorms to develop across parts of southern Ontario on Monday, potentially strong in areas along Lake Huron, Georgian Bay and southwestern parts. Storms could form Monday afternoon and move away from the shores of Lake Huron and Gulf of Georgia. Strong gusts of wind are the main threat, along with heavy rain and small hail. Residents living in Windsor, London, Goderich and Owen Sound, in particular, should be cautious and monitor weather warnings. Storms may reach the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) by the evening hours, however, losing some of their energy with the loss of sunlight and remaining non-severe in nature. Strong southwesterly winds will also blow. They will likely peak in the late afternoon and early evening ahead of the cold front. Gusts will reach 40-60+km/h. Winds will then weaken overnight and turn northwesterly. Temperatures will remain comfortable for Tuesday, near or even slightly below the season, but humidity spikes midweek. The threat of mild thunderstorms will remain for southeastern Ontario on Tuesday. For Ontario’s full forecast, watch the video above. Thumbnail courtesy of MZ, taken in Embro, Ont.
