Watches 5:01 PM EDT Tuesday 18 June 2024 Tornado Watch in effect for: Gull Bay - Black Sturgeon Lake Conditions are favourable for the development of severe thunderstorms which may produce tornadoes. Strong winds, large hail and heavy rain are also possible. Hazards: Tornadoes possible. Wind gusts up to 100 km/h. Torrential downpours. Nickel to ping pong ball sized hail. Timing: This afternoon into this evening. Discussion: This tornado watch has been upgraded from a severe thunderstorm watch that was previously in effect. A line of thunderstorms is expected to develop this afternoon. Alongside strong wind gusts and torrential downpours, a few tornadoes are possible. For details on rainfall, please see the rainfall warning or special weather statement that is currently in effect. While the probability of nickel to ping pong ball sized hail is low, it remains possible. This is a dangerous and potentially life-threatening situation. Be prepared for severe weather. Take cover immediately, if threatening weather approaches. In the event of a tornado, or if a tornado warning is issued for your area, it is recommended you take the following actions: 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! Emergency Management Ontario recommends that you take cover immediately if threatening weather approaches. Tornado watches are issued when atmospheric conditions are favourable for the development of thunderstorms that could produce tornadoes. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ONstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports using #ONStorm .
