TORONTO – Environment Canada has issued a weather advisory for parts of the Greater Toronto Area, warning of the development of funnel clouds this evening.

The advisory is for:

  • Newmarket – Georgina – Northern York Region
  • Pickering – Oshawa – Southern Durham Region
  • Uxbridge – Beaverton – Northern Durham Region
  • Vaughan – Richmond Hill – Markham

There is the possibility of the development of funnel clouds due to weak rotation under weak thunderstorms. These types of funnel clouds don’t normally pose a danger to the ground.

However, if you see a funnel cloud, Environment Canada urges you to treat it seriously and take shelter.

Around 4 p.m. thunderstorms were moving across north of the city.
