#ONStorm #ONwx How are you enjoying our ‘Spring of Deception’ season this week?

Many areas across Southern Ontario are basking in double-digit temperatures today and that will continue tomorrow.

However, get it in while you can! We could be talking about -20°C wind chills and the potential for snow by this weekend into next week. Winter is far from finished!

4:01p TORNADO WARNING REPLACES SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING by Environment Canada

DATE: Thursday, July 20, 2023

(Locations listed below description)

Updated or ended by 5:00 P.M. Edt.

At 4:01 P.M. Edt, Environment Canada meteorologists are tracking a severe thunderstorm that is possibly producing a tornado. Damaging winds, large hail and locally intense rainfall are also possible.

This is a dangerous and potentially life-threatening situation. Take cover immediately, if threatening weather Approaches. If you hear a roaring Sound or see a funnel Cloud, swirling debris near the ground, flying debris, or any threatening weather approaching, take shelter immediately.

Go indoors to a room on the lowest floor, away from outside walls and windows, such as a basement, bathroom, stairwell or interior closet. Leave mobile homes, vehicles, tents, trailers and other temporary or free-standing shelter, and move to a strong building if you can. As a last resort, lie in a low spot and protect your head from flying debris.

Lightning kills and injures canadians every year. Remember, when thunder roars, go indoors!

Near Petrolia now. Lots of cumulus bubbling and the line of storms is moving in out of Michigan. @weathernetwork #ONStorm

[Joss @jossieoutlaw]

For my southern Ontario peeps today: a severe weather event is taking shape for this afternoon into this evening with strong tornados, damaging wind and hail and flooding rain. Everyone needs to have plans in place, ability to shelter immediately and eyes to the skies today.

[FEMA @fema]

Following last night’s devastating tornadoes, we are coordinating with @MSEMA officials to support affected communities.

We are working closely with our state partners to assess the impacted areas. Our thoughts are with those communities and their loved ones.
