Along with heavy downpours producing 30 to 50 mm of rain and hail up to 2 cm in diameter, there is also the risk of a tornado.
Heavy downpours can cause flash floods and water pooling on roads, and large hail can damage property and cause injury.
Emergency Management Ontario recommends that you take cover immediately if threatening weather approaches.
