Severe thunderstorm watch in effect for:

Conditions are favourable for the development of dangerous thunderstorms that may be capable of producing damaging wind gusts, large hail and heavy rain.
A northeast to southwest line of thunderstorms is located over Windsor and moving east at around 40 km/h. Some of the storms in this line may be capable of producing wind gusts to 90 km/h.
Large hail can damage property and cause injury. Be prepared for severe weather. Take cover immediately, if threatening weather approaches. Stay indoors when a thunderstorm strikes.
