“Another strong early fall storm will bring a renewed chance of severe weather to southwestern Ontario late Tuesday and eastern Ontario and southern Quebec on Wednesday,” he explained. “It won’t be nearly as hot ahead of this approaching cold front, but computer models do show the potential for damaging winds and even an isolated tornado or two.”
Farnell said the risk of tornadoes will taper off as the storm approaches the Waterloo region and return Wednesday as it heads toward Kingston and Ottawa.
He said the risk factor is not quite as high as it was for the storms that caused tornadoes in Ottawa over the weekend.
