Severe thunderstorm watches as Ontario braces for more storms

Tuesday, August 5, 2014, 11:02 AM - It's been stormy day after stormy day for people in southwestern Ontario since Friday, and Tuesday's rounds are just getting underway.

Environment Canada has issued severe thunderstorm watches for much of that part of the province, running from Windsor to Niagara Falls and up to Hamilton and London.

They do, however, stop just short of Burlington, whose residents are cleaning up after flash flooding sparked by a train of storms that dumped almost 200 mm of rain on the city.

Today's storms are expected to feature not only more rain, but also strong winds.

"Clusters of thunderstorms will give several rounds of heavy storms and showers from late this morning into early this evening," Environment Canada says. "Localized torrential downpours will likely give in excess of 50 mm of rain in a short period of time."

The storms were already getting going by the mid-morning in southwestern Ontario, with reports coming in on Twitter of dark skies and rain in Guelph and London.

Weather Network meteorologist Kelly Sonnenburg says showers will push into the Greater Toronto Area later in the morning, with the risk of a few scattered thundershowers through most of southern Ontario.

Although severe storm watches have only been issued in the southwest, non-severe storms are possible through almost all the region Tuesday.

Temperatures will also be cooler, although the humidity will still make it feel close to 30.

Northwestern Ontario also has a slight chance of isolated thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening, while on Wednesday, most of the province's storm risk will be concentrated on cottage country and the Nickel Belt.
