Environment Canada issued the warning Monday, stating that conditions are favourable for the development of severe thunderstorms that may be capable of producing strong wind gusts and heavy rain.

Heavy downpours, the national weather agency warned, can cause flash floods and water pooling on roads.

How long the warning will be in effect for remains to be seen.

Otherwise, however, weather is looking much cooler in the days ahead.
