Environment Canada is noting that they will be monitoring this weather system throughout the day.

The weather agency says they have not determined this to be a “severe thunderstorm,” since criteria for that designation would be two-centimetre hail, wind gusts of 90 km/h, and 50 millimetres of rain in an hour or less.
