Severe Thunderstorm Watch Issued

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for the following areas: Barrie, Haliburton, Bancroft, Fenelon Falls, Renfrew, Owen Sound, Saugeen Shores, Hanover, Huron, Waterloo and Dufferin. Conditions continue to be favorable for severe weather across Southern Ontario as storms are expected to begin develop in the late afternoon-early evening hours. There is high confidence that some of these storms will be severe. Any storm that does for could produce: Damaging winds gusts to 100km/h, large hail, torrential downpours and dangerous cloud to ground lightning. Remember, when thunder roars. Go indoors! Lightning kills an average of 10 Canadians every year! The OPSW will continue to monitor the situation.
