WEATHER ALERT
ENVIRONMENT CANADA
***********************
Special weather statement in effect for:
• Barrie - Collingwood - Hillsdale
• Midland - Coldwater - Orr Lake
• Orillia - Lagoon City - Washago
More unsettled conditions this afternoon with scattered thunderstorms producing small hail and gusty winds.
Yet another disturbance will sweep across Southern Ontario today into tonight. Scattered thunderstorms are beginning to develop in regions to the east of Lake Huron and south of Georgian Bay down to the Golden Horseshoe. They will spread across Eastern Ontario this afternoon.
Many of the thunderstorms are expected to produce pea-sized hail. The odd thunderstorm may give somewhat larger hail of 1 centimetre or perhaps a little larger. Given the cool temperatures and favourable atmospheric conditions, the hail may be abundant and nearly cover the ground at times. The main concern is damage to tender crops and plants.
Isolated wind gusts to 70 km/h are also likely.
Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to [email protected] or tweet reports using #ONStorm.
