The tornado watches come less than a month after a weak tornado in the Casselman, Ont., area and a devastating derecho windstorm that knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of customers in the region and killed at least 10 people across Ontario and Quebec. Watches are issued when Environment Canada determines conditions are favourable for the development of thunderstorms strong enough to include a tornado. Tornado watches cover most of eastern Ontario — except for the Belleville, Brockville, Cornwall, Deep River and Kingston areas — and all of western Quebec.

Stay alert! A shortwave trough ahead of an approaching cold front will trigger severe thunderstorms across parts of Ontario and Quebec Thursday afternoon.

Southwestern Ontario will likely have a couple days of excessive heat with a humidex into the 40s. Beyond, a warming trend is anticipated for early and mid-next week as the heat wave over the U.S. Midwest attempts to spread into the region. Friday is shaping up to be a lovely day behind the cold front. Several rounds of storms are possible for southern Quebec, including the city of Montreal. This is where storm dynamics look the most favourable for strong winds, large hail, torrential rain and even a possible tornado. Residents are reminded to check the forecast regularly throughout the day and prepare to shelter when severe weather strikes.
