PHOTOS: Ontario, Quebec sees multiple days of stormy weather, funnel clouds
The first two days of the final work week in June was unsettled and stormy in parts of Ontario and Quebec -- marked by torrential rainfall, frequent lightning, hail, intense winds and even funnel clouds sighted – prompting tornado warnings on Monday for some areas
A slow-moving low over the Great Lakes has led to a myriad of unsettled weather in parts of southern Ontario and Quebec to start the final week of June.
Multiple rounds of storms have trekked across many areas in Central Canada through Tuesday, affecting commutes and triggering tornado warnings on Monday near the Ontario and Quebec border after funnel clouds were spotted and rotation was indicated on radar.

While photos of funnel clouds showed up on social media, there has been no confirmation of any ground contact at this point. Monday saw plenty of reports of hail, torrential rainfall, localized flooding, frequent lightning and tree damage, which may or may not have been related to the wind or funnel clouds.
The same low stirred some foul weather again on Tuesday, bringing heavy rain, strong winds and scary-looking clouds to some areas. Weather advisories were issued as conditions were favourable for funnel cloud development. There have been some reports of funnel clouds on social media, along with tree damage that may or may not be related.

As the low continues to move east into Wednesday, with more thunderstorm potential in Quebec, drier conditions will move into southern Ontario. This should be good news for lifting the fire bans in cottage country in time for the long weekend.
While the sunshine chances will present themselves, the wildfire smoke will once again return on Wednesday.
For a look at the visuals of the storms from Monday and Tuesday that are circulating on social media, see below.
