Atmosphere Canada has issued a extreme thunderstorm look ahead to Thunder Bay and elements of northwestern Ontario.
The watch was issued on Wednesday morning for the next areas:
Thunder Bay. Atikokan. Quetico Park. Upsala. Dryden. Ignace. Fort Frances. Wet River. Sioux Narrows. Cloud Bay. Kakabeka Falls.
“Extreme thunderstorms are anticipated to develop close to the Ontario-Minnesota border this afternoon and monitor eastward,” the climate company mentioned. “The atmospheric situations for extreme climate are in place over Ontario. Nevertheless, it’s doable that the strongest storms might stay close to or simply south of the border.”
Nevertheless, if the storms do transfer into northwestern Ontario, they might deliver golf ball-sized hail, torrential rainfall and winds gusting as much as 90 km/h.
“Giant hail can harm property and trigger harm,” Atmosphere Canada mentioned. “Robust wind gusts can toss unfastened objects, harm weak buildings, break branches off bushes and overturn massive autos.
“Bear in mind, extreme thunderstorms can produce tornadoes. Water-related actions could also be unsafe as a result of violent and sudden gusts of wind over our bodies of water.”
