Environment Canada has issued a Tornado Watch
The weather office says conditions are favourable for the development of severe thunderstorms which may produce tornadoes.
Hazards: Tornadoes. Hail 4 cm. Wind gust 120 km/h. Rain local 50 mm in an hour. Frequent cloud to ground lightning.
Timing: This afternoon.
Discussion: A line of severe thunderstorms is expected to move eastward across the regions this afternoon. Some of these storms will likely contain tornadoes. This may be a dangerous situation.
This is a dangerous and potentially life-threatening situation.
Be prepared for severe weather. Take cover immediately, if threatening weather approaches.
In the event of a tornado, or if a tornado warning is issued for your area, it is recommended you take the following actions: Go indoors to a room on the lowest floor, away from outside walls and windows, such as a basement, bathroom, stairwell or interior closet. Leave mobile homes, vehicles, tents, trailers and other temporary or free-standing shelter, and move to a strong building if you can. As a last resort, lie in a low spot and protect your head from flying debris.
Remember, when thunder roars, go indoors!
