Ontario's Weather Forecast Is Predicting Severe Thunderstorms, Hail & Misery Today

Residents of southern Ontario are still buzzing about the summer-like warmth seen on Tuesday, but it looks like they're in for a rude awakening on Wednesday.

According to The Weather Network, even though temperatures will remain in the double digits, the sunny weather will get washed out by rain and thunderstorms for areas along the Georgian Bay and Lake Huron on Wednesday morning.

Rainfall warnings have been put in place for areas such as Sault Ste. Marie, Parry Sound and North Bay, with totals of 30 to 50 millimetres expected in some areas, particularly those that experience thunderstorms.

"Localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible. Heavy downpours can cause flash floods and water pooling on roads," Environment Canada warns. "If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for tail lights ahead and be prepared to stop. Don't approach washouts near rivers, creeks and culverts."

As for what areas stand the most chance of being hit by severe thunderstorms, TWN reports that southwestern parts of the province may see them develop thanks to strong lake breezes along the shores of Lake Erie.

However, the risk is conditional and will depend on the timing of the cold front.

Currently, the main threats are slated as heavy rain, strong winds and small hail, says TWN.

Unfortunately, Easter weekend won't see the return of summery vibes, with yet another cold front expected to send temperatures dropping below seasonal during the holiday.

So, if you've got an outdoor Easter egg hunt planned, you might want to think about moving it indoors.
