Afternoon: We should see widespread thunderstorms in the afternoon across much of the region. There will be a mix of mild and severe storms and some of the strongest signals could be northwest, north and northeast of Lake Ontario. It could be quite messy with widespread showers in many places. All serious risks remain on the table during this period.
Evening: Some data suggests that the strongest storms of the day could arrive in the evening hours (6 to 9 p.m.) across southwestern Ontario and move east toward areas such as Hamilton and parts of the GTHA and Niagara.
Tornado Risk: We have only covered the orange (3) tornado risk areas on our map as this area has the best chance. However, an isolated tornado occurring in the yellow isolated severe risk areas (2) cannot be completely ruled out.
IMPORTANT: We will be with you every step of the way and may or may not stream live via YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Twitch. Regardless of whether we choose to stream or not, we’ll be tracking each storm as it develops and alerting those in its path of any rotations, tornado reports, damaging winds and large hail in our free Instant Weather app and via our premium text message alerts. . If you don’t have PayPal, you can also subscribe to our text messages directly on our website. However, the PayPal option is automated, so it will work immediately. Because we have to enter subscriptions on our website by hand, we may not be able to reach everyone who subscribes before we are tied up in tracking these storms.
