A cold front is expected to sweep through Southwestern Ontario this afternoon bringing a few showers and thunderstorms along with it.
As a result, Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement in Chatham-Kent.
“There is the potential that some of these thunderstorms may produce strong wind gusts up to 80 km/h,” Environment Canada officials stated.
“The showers and possible thunderstorms are expected to diminish by early this evening as the cold front progresses east. If an isolated thunderstorm does have the potential to produce stronger wind gusts then a severe thunderstorm warning might be issued.”
Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ec.cpio-tempetes-ospc-storms.ec@canada.ca or tweet reports using #ONStorm.
