Environment Canada has highlighted a tornado risk for Monday, August 29th, 2022 in the “D” zone of the map, which includes parts of Southwestern Ontario, Central Ontario, and Northeastern Ontario. They’ve also highlighted a “Moderate” severe risk in “C” zone that covers much of southern Ontario. And Eastern Ontario seems to be left out for Monday’s severe risk on their forecast. However, seeing as we’re two days away from this event, the placement could shift some.
Environment Canada writes: “Organized areas of thunderstorms are expected to develop Monday afternoon and evening ahead of a cold front. These thunderstorms have the potential to become severe with wind gusts near 90 km/h, toonie size hail and 50 mm of rain. While there is a great deal of uncertainty, there appears to be the potential for tornadic development.”
