NOTE: YOU CAN CLICK ON THE MAP TO OPEN A ZOOMABLE IMAGE WHICH WILL BE EASIER TO READ.

Isolated pop-up thunderstorms are possible for a second day in Central and Eastern Ontario on Friday. The risk for these non-severe storms will be primarily focused during the afternoon and early evening hours. These storms will be very localized and not everyone within the risk area will see rain (as many are hoping for rain to help with very dry conditions).

The highest wildfire threat is in Southwestern Ontario which is mostly outside the zone we expect to see the storm threat. Thus, the risk of new fires being started by lightning should be low, but can’t be ruled out.
