A severe thunderstorm warning has ended for London and Middlesex County.
The warning, issued around 10:30 p.m., was in effect for London for less than 20 minutes. It said a cluster of severe thunderstorms was tracking northeastward at 40 km/h over areas west of London and was capable of producing strong wind gusts and heavy rainfall.
The warning also covered Essex County, Chatham-Kent, and eastern Lambton County when it was dropped just before 11 p.m. Severe thunderstorms remained in place afterwards.
Earlier in the evening, tornado warnings swept through areas of Essex County, Chatham-Kent, and Lambton County as the system made its way across southwestern Ontario. All tornado warnings were dropped by 9:30 p.m.
An earlier severe thunderstorm watch for London and surrounding areas called for the threat of severe thunderstorms to dimish closer to midnight. A forecast issued for London around 3:30 p.m. said evening thundershowers could bring local rainfall amounts of 15 to 25 millimetres.
Cloudy, gusty conditions are in store for Wednesday, with a 40 per cent chance of early morning showers.
