Environment Canada has quickly lifted a severe thunderstorm warning for London-Middlesex.
Early Friday afternoon, forecasters were tracking a line of severe thunderstorms heading northeastward at 50km/h capable of producing damaging wind gusts, hail and heavy rain but a warning for the region was lifted soon after.
The national weather service said intense lightning is likely with any thunderstorm that develops. Heavy downpours can cause flash floods and water pooling on roads and lightning can be deadly.
