Monday, August 1st, 2022:
This afternoon and evening has the potential to bring with it isolated severe thunderstorms. By isolated, we mean the majority of our community will not see severe thunderstorms today. However, those who do may experience hail (1-2cm), damaging wind gusts (90km/h+), frequent lightning, and isolated flooding. Isolated tornado activity cannot be ruled out and we’ll be watching very closely for any rotation on radar or any reports from our extraordinary community! The main risk is in Southwestern Ontario and areas highlighted in Orange, perhaps extending towards Central Ontario and areas south and southeast of Lake Simcoe. We didn’t highlight Niagara in a severe risk but a rouge severe thunderstorm heading in that direction isn’t entirely out of the realm of possibilities. Muskoka, Northeastern Ontario, and isolated parts of Eastern Ontario have some isolated severe risk but overall, the severe thunderstorms risk in those areas are is low.
IMPORTANT: We’ll likely be livestreaming via YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Twitch, tracking every developing storm and notifying those in the path of any rotation, tornado reports, damaging winds, and large hail on our free app Instant Weather and via our premium Text Message Alerts. If you don’t have PayPal, you can also subscribe to our text messages directly on our website, however, the PayPal option is automated so it will work immediately as we may not be able to get to everyone who subscribes via our website due to the fact that we have to enter those in manually.

Long story short, we’ll be watching closely and please have a plan, especially in southwestern Ontario for some isolated severe weather this afternoon.
