A rainy, stormy Thursday is in store as a severe thunderstorm watch has now been issued for Waterloo Region and surrounding areas.
Environment Canada says showers and thunderstorms are expected to intensify early Thursday afternoon and continue into the evening.
The system could be capable of producing strong winds, with gusts reaching up to 90 km/h. Toonie-size hail is also possible, and there’s the risk of a “brief” tornado.
“Be prepared for severe weather,” the weather alert said. “If threatening weather approaches, take cover in a basement or interior room. If outside, protect yourself from flying debris and hail. Secure loose objects.”
