Environment Canada has issued a severe thunderstorm watch for most of Southwestern Ontario, including Oxford County.
Thunderstorms are expected to develop near Lake Huron and Georgian Bay by early this afternoon. These storms are expected to track into southern Ontario late this afternoon and early evening.
Damaging wind gusts may be associated with some of these storms as well as torrential downpours, frequent lightning and hail. There will also be the risk for an isolated tornado.
Strong wind gusts can toss loose objects, damage weak buildings, break branches off trees and overturn large vehicles. Lightning kills and injures Canadians every year. Remember, when thunder roars, go indoors!
