Original story: A line of thunderstorms over Southeastern Lower Michigan may move across portions of Southwestern Ontario early this afternoon, forecasters say.
Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement in Chatham-Kent.
“Some of the thunderstorms may produce wind gusts to 80 km/h, pea to marble sized hail and frequent lightning,” forecasters stated.
“Heavy downpours suddenly reducing visibility to less than 1 km are also possible.”
The thunderstorms are expected to move northeast out of the region by mid afternoon, Environment Canada officials stated.
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.
