Severe Storms, Tornado Threats Spread Across Ontario, Quebec

Ontario is experiencing a weekend of severe and potentially dangerous weather, particularly in northwestern regions where multiple rounds of storms are forecast. These storms, moving along the U.S.-Canada border from Fort Frances to Thunder Bay, pose risks including large hail, heavy rain, damaging winds, and the possibility of tornadoes, with some hailstones expected to be as large as ping pong balls. The severe weather follows a week of intense storms across Ontario, where tornado warnings were issued and significant damage occurred, including power outages and structural damage. In addition to northwestern Ontario, southern and central areas are also under threat, with Environment Canada issuing severe thunderstorm watches for regions like Kitchener and Cambridge, warning of wind gusts up to 110 km/h, torrential rains, and nickel-sized hail. The humid and unstable weather conditions driven by a low-pressure system contribute to these hazards, with potential tornadoes particularly noted for northeastern Ontario and Quebec. Residents are advised to monitor weather updates closely and prepare for severe conditions, including tornado warnings and heavy localized flooding.
