Southern Ontario Braces for Intense Storms with Triple Weather Threat
Southern Ontario is preparing for a series of intense storms that pose a triple weather threat this weekend. A cold front is set to move into the region, likely bringing thunderstorms from London to Niagara.
Weather Forecast Overview
As the cold front advances, strong northwest winds will begin to dominate by Sunday. These winds will increase in intensity overnight, resulting in gusts reaching between 60 to 80 km/h.
Blustery Conditions Ahead
Sunday is expected to be particularly blustery across Southern Ontario. The gusty conditions will be especially pronounced along the escarpment and at the shores of Lake Huron.
- Thunderstorms predicted from London to Niagara.
- Northern winds will bring organized snow squalls.
- Wind gusts may reach 60-80 km/h.
Lake-Effect Snow Squalls
As the day progresses, lake-effect squalls are anticipated, particularly in regions near Lake Huron. By Sunday evening, these squalls may become more organized.
- Main targets include areas from London to Woodstock.
- A secondary area of concern will be regions from Georgian Bay to Highway 400 south of Barrie.
As the new workweek begins, wind gusts are expected to decrease slightly. However, conditions will still be favorable for the continuation of lake-effect squalls throughout Southern Ontario.
