Severe storm threat hits Ontario and Quebec, with risk of tornadoes
Some storms on Monday could reach severe levels, with Quebec facing an added risk of isolated tornadoes in certain areas.
DON'T MISS:
Be sure to monitor local weather alerts and incoming conditions throughout the day.
A cold front sweeping south on Monday could spark severe storms near Niagara and parts of eastern Ontario, as pockets of instability persist through the afternoon.
The hot, humid air mass in place is expected to fuel heavy rainfall during any storms that develop.
However, there is some uncertainty over whether storm activity will be concentrated north or south of the border.
Dew point and humidex values in Ontario will drop significantly by Tuesday, leading to cooler and less humid conditions.
In Quebec, the risk for thunderstorms on Monday will peak early- to mid-afternoon southeast of Montreal. Rotating thunderstorms are possible, and there is a slight tornado risk in this region.
SEE ALSO:
Confidence in the severity and coverage of storms is moderate, as the placement of the warm front and extent of cloud cover could impact instability levels.
Primary hazards from Monday's storms include heavy rainfall, strong wind gusts, and torrential downpours.
DON'T MISS:
Stay alert for rapidly changing conditions and pay close attention to watches and warnings in your area.
Monday's storm risk follows the active weather that arrived on Sunday and continued through the overnight hours. Widespread rain and embedded thunderstorms hit parts of cottage country east of Georgian Bay, as well as into southwestern Quebec.
Some areas picked up more than 70 mm of rain as the precipitation lingered along the slow-moving boundary.
Localized flooding was reported, and a section of Highway 559 near Killbear Provincial Park was closed in both directions due to a sinkhole on Monday morning.
Highway 559 closed in both directions Monday, July 7
Conditions across southern Ontario and Quebec are expected to stabilize on Tuesday, with no notable thunderstorm risk in the forecast.

Possible tornado causes tree, building damage in upstate NY: NWS to investigate
Trees were topped and some buildings in Ontario County were damaged in what meteorologists said may have been a tornado on Monday evening. A survey team from the National Weather Service in Buffalo on Tuesday morning will head to Phelps, Ontario County, where it is believed that a "possible tornado" touched down and caused damage in the area, said Weather Service Meteorologist Heather Kenyon. The Weather Service received reports of tree and structural damage as well as sightings of a funnel cloud, she said. The Weather Service started receiving reports of the damage between 6:30 and 7 p.m. Monday, so it was believed that the burst occurred just before then. There was not a tornado warning in the area at the time, she said. Footage of the area shows several heavily damaged houses - including several now without a roof. Trees in the area have been uprooted and snapped. The DeBoover Family Farm on County Road 23 in Phelps sustained heavy damage, the family reported but no people or animals were injured in the burst, they reported on social media. County officials Monday night closed numerous roads in the area due to storm damage, including County Road 23 - between Melvin Hill and Fort Hill roads - and Fort Hill Road - from the Village of Phelps to County Road 23.
