Northern Ontario: Thunderstorm Outlook for Friday, July 30, 2021

Forecast Discussion

A few scattered thunderstorms may develop during the afternoon and evening on Friday through Northwestern Ontario along the Manitoba border. There is some questionable severe risk associated with these storms with the main threats including damaging wind gusts and large hail. While not the main risk, there are some indications that an isolated tornado could be possible especially around Drayden and Red Lake. The tornado risk isn’t strong enough for us to include it in the forecast map at this point. We’ll see the storm threat come to an end late in the evening as the storms head stateside to the southeast.
