1:00 PM - Wed, Aug 11, 2021:
After reviewing the latest data, we believe there is the potential for significant severe storms later this afternoon and into the evening for parts of Southern Ontario.
This is actually the first time this season that we’ve had a significant severe risk on our map for Southern Ontario! So this could be quite the serious situation.
The strongest risk for storms exists along the Lake Huron shoreline and around Georgian Bay. This area could see wind gusts over 100km/h and maybe evening strong along with large hail and heavy rainfall. A few tornadoes may also be possible as the environment is certainly favourable for some rotating storms.
There is still some uncertainty on the exact storm mode which will determine the main risks associated with the storms. Some models are showing a squall line developing over Lake Huron with embedded pockets of destructive wind gusts as it cuts across Southern Ontario this evening. While other models are favouring more isolated cells which could bring some large hail and a tornado threat along with damaging wind gusts.
Either way, it looks like the weather could become quite dangerous later today. This is the day to be weather aware and make sure you have a plan in place should you need to seek shelter from severe weather. These storms will be moving quite fast so you may only have a few minutes to react.
We will be covering these storms as best as we can throughout the day and into the evening so check back for the latest updates. Also hope to have a live stream going as the storms develop later today.
Stay safe!!
