Another risk for severe storms pops up Sunday in Ontario, Quebec
Saturday was quite the day across portions of Ontario and Quebec as powerful thunderstorms swept through the two provinces. We saw widespread severe thunderstorms with occasional tornado warnings on Saturday, delaying Canada Day celebrations in many communities.
We’ll see a renewed threat for strong to severe thunderstorms across the region on Sunday, though not nearly on the level we saw a day earlier.
Keep the radar handy on your phone if you’re under the threat of storms on Sunday, and make a plan to seek shelter in a hurry if hazardous weather approaches your location.
DON'T MISS: A turbulent July promises smoke, storms, heat, and drought across Canada
Sunday
Areas: Ontario and Quebec
Timing: Afternoon and the evening
Weather: Some residual thunderstorms will likely continue across parts of Ontario and Quebec through the overnight hours late Saturday into Sunday morning.
By Sunday, we’ll see a second low-pressure centre tracking into the region. This arriving system will bring widespread rain to southern Ontario, including the Greater Toronto Area. Some embedded thunderstorms are possible.
The clouds and rain will keep temperatures on the lower side across the region, with daytime highs only climbing into the lower 20s for most of southern Ontario.
Farther north, however, instability and upper-level support could give rise to thunderstorms through parts of cottage country, eastern Ontario, and north through Quebec.
Any thunderstorms that reach severe limits could produce large hail, strong wind gusts, and heavy rainfall.
Sunday’s renewed storm risk may threaten any outdoor plans as this long holiday weekend continues.
