Weather warnings and watches issued for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton areas were called off late Monday afternoon.
The region, along with many areas near Lake Ontario, was placed under a severe thunderstorm watch Monday morning. Environment Canada later upgraded the watch to a warning for Hamilton and Niagara.
The warning remains in effect for Niagara, however, and some areas north of Toronto such as Caledon, Newmarket and Uxbridge are under a special weather statement due to a possible 30-40 mm of rainfall.
