More severe weather on tap

The atmosphere is very unstable in Kemptville and eastern Ontario at this hour. Rain has been falling most of the overnight and morning and now the sun is breaking through. We can expect thunderstorms to develop early this afternoon from south to north in the warm, humid air. Some of these storms will become severe, with hail possible. Yesterday a funnel cloud was spotted by the OPP near London prompting Environment Canada to issue tornado warnings for the region. A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect at this time for most of southern and eastern Ontario. I expect these will be expanded to include the Ottawa Valley and southern Quebec shortly.
