In a watch statement released by Environment and Climate Change Canada on Saturday, they indicated that heavy rain and quarter-sized hail might affect regions Saturday afternoon as part of an approaching weather system.
“Conditions are favourable for the development of severe thunderstorms that may be capable of producing strong wind gusts, large hail and heavy rain,” the statement said.
“Local utility outages are possible.”
The Greater Toronto Area, Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo, Barrie and Peterborough are among the areas included in the severe thunderstorm watch.
