Severe Weather Warning: Funnel Clouds May Form!

Attention, Southern Ontario! Brace yourselves as Tuesday brings a looming threat of funnel clouds alongside severe thunderstorms across the region. Following a chaotic Monday in northern Ontario, the focus shifts southward, particularly near the Lake Erie shoreline.

Forecast models indicate a conditional risk where funnel clouds could form, with even the potential for a weak landspout tornado in certain areas. However, there's significant uncertainty about how conditions will evolve throughout the day.

Thunderstorms Brewing: What to Expect

As the day progresses, watch out for storms shifting toward the Niagara Peninsula, fueled by lake breezes. These breezes could ignite severe thunderstorms, but it’s still a toss-up whether they can combat the oppressive heat.

If conditions align, we could witness the formation of funnel clouds or a landspout tornado in our midst. Heavy rainfall is also on the agenda, with localized downpours potentially reaching up to 80 mm.

Prepare for Possible Flooding!

Repeated storms hitting the same areas could lead to localized flooding, particularly on roadways. Residents are urged to stay vigilant and keep up with local weather updates as the day unfolds.

Midweek Relief on the Horizon

Relief is expected by Wednesday, with temperatures dropping to a more comfortable mid to upper 20s. Say goodbye to the sweltering heat of Tuesday!

Looking Ahead: What’s Next for July?

By the weekend, anticipate near-seasonal temperatures with lower humidity levels, though brief showers and thunderstorms could still occur. A return of heat is expected on Monday ahead of a significant cold front, promising thunderstorms and rain to kick off July.
