Ontario storm risk sets up once again on Saturday

After a round of nocturnal thunderstorms in southwest Ontario, more stormy weather could arrive on Saturday

The storm risk becomes more widespread throughout the day on Saturday, though there's still some uncertainty if the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) manages to escape the worst of the stormy conditions once again.

Full sunshine returns to round out the weekend on Sunday, so you'll want to make sure to soak up that natural vitamin D before the next soggy pattern takes shape for early next week.

Storm threat reappears Saturday

The rest of Ontario woke up with more sunshine Saturday morning before the front moves across the province throughout the day.

Widespread rain is forecast across Lake Superior to the Georgian Bay shores, with embedded thunderstorms likely, as well.

While it's still uncertain where the stronger storms will develop, strong winds, heavy rain, and small hail are the main risks across the south and east through Saturday afternoon.

There's the chance for storms to develop across the GTA later in the day on Saturday, although parts of the region may miss the worst of it if the stormy conditions stay further north again.
