Severe Thunderstorms Hit Southern Ontario

0:00It's March 31st. I'm Cory with the story, and this is Vancouver News today, your AI-powered local news. Southern Ontario's gearing up for some nasty thunderstorms this Tuesday evening. Environment Canada slapped the yellow-severe thunderstorm watch on areas like Waterloo Region, Guelph, and Stratford. Officials are calling out wind gusts that could hit 90 kilometers an hour, along with pounding rains and hail the size of a $2 coin. These storms hit hard, and though rare, they can whip up tornadoes too. Power outages or flooded roads aren't off the table for locals. The fronts do late afternoon, dragging into the evening hours. Watches like this mean conditions are ripe, so stay tuned for upgrades. Heads up and batten down. Another safe and sorry when Mother Nature drops the beat.
