Thunderstorms will develop this afternoon and early this evening. Some of these storms might become severe. The main threat is the heavy downpours. Strong wind gusts are also possible.

Strong wind gusts can toss loose objects, damage weak buildings, break branches off trees and overturn large vehicles. Intense lightning is likely with any thunderstorm that develops. Heavy downpours can cause flash floods and water pooling on roads.

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