Saturday might seem like a repeat experience.
An enhanced system is expected to arrive Friday night and continue through Saturday morning, increasing the likelihood of severe weather throughout southwestern Ontario. Residents in the GTA might find themselves waking up with the impression it’s still Friday when the storms sweep into the region during the early hours of Saturday morning.
Intense gusts of wind and sizable hail continue to be the primary risks associated with these storm systems, particularly affecting areas from Windsor to London, where powerful winds and bigger hailstones might occur.
A significant distinction is that the threat of thunderstorms on Saturday will cover a broader area compared to Friday’s conditions because the stormy low pressure system will be positioned over the Great Lakes. This low is anticipated to generate several episodes of intense rainfall and storms packed with lightning during the day.
