Environment Canada Issues Tornado Watch for Region

Conditions are favorable for the development of severe thunderstorms which may produce tornadoes.

Hazards:
A couple tornadoes
Scattered damaging wind gusts to 100 km/h

Timing:
Now into this evening.

Remember, a tornado watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes and severe thunderstorms. Persons in the area should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for possible warnings.

In the event of a tornado, or if a tornado warning is issued for your area, it is recommended you take the following actions: Go indoors to a room on the lowest floor, away from outside walls and windows, such as a basement, bathroom, stairwell or interior closet. Leave mobile homes, vehicles, tents, trailers and other temporary or free-standing shelter, and move to a strong building if you can. As a last resort, lie in a low spot and protect your head from flying debris. Lightning kills and injures Canadians every year. Remember, when thunder roars, go indoors!
