BRACEBRIDGE, ON- Heavy weather may be on the way for parts of Muskoka today.
According to a notice from Environment Canada, scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop ahead of a cold front near Lake Huron and Georgian Bay.
These storms are then expected to track southeastward across southern Ontario during the afternoon and early evening hours.
Damaging wind gusts may be associated with some of these storms as well as torrential downpours, frequent lightning and hail. There will also be the risk for an isolated tornado.
Strong wind gusts can toss loose objects, damage weak buildings, break branches off trees and overturn large vehicles. Lightning kills and injures Canadians every year. Remember, when thunder roars, go indoors!
The Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management recommends that you take cover immediately if threatening weather approaches.
