Thunderstorms are occurring this evening with the potential for large hail, strong wind gusts, and heavy downpours.

Strong wind gusts can toss loose objects, damage weak buildings, break branches off trees and overturn large vehicles. Lightning kills and injures Canadians every year. Remember, when thunder roars, go indoors!
