Reminder that low hanging clouds are not always a funnel clouds. It could be a scud cloud. Scud clouds are harmless, don't rotate, and look sort of ragged.
Conditions this evening are not favorable for funnel clouds or tornadoes.

Be on alert in eastern Ontario and Southern Quebec. The Weather Network meteorologist @nadinehp4 breaks down the storm set-up and explains why millions in eastern Ontario and Quebec are at risk for tornado development today.

I know Canada has it's own hail chart for sizing and measurements of hailstones, but they don't seem to have a infographic about it. So I was bored and made one today.

NTP meteorologists have identified an area for likely tornado development later today in our experimental outlook. See orange area on map below. Closely monitor EC watches and warnings in and near this area. A Chance Tornado threat exists for the wider area in yellow. #ONStorm

I guess someone at Rogers quit last night. #internetdown

11:25 pm Thursday. Temp 26 C, Dewpoint up to 21. Though nothing imminent on radar yet. Eastern ON is under a Tornado Watch (not a Warning). Conditions are favourable for the development of severe t"storms which MAY produce tornadoes. #ottweather #Ottweather #ONStorm

Conditions look decent for discrete supercells across eastern #ONwx. Low level shear is a little on the low end so the tornado risk is there but looks like a lower end risk. What looks to be a really big threat for today is the potential for large and potentially damaging hail.

Severe thunderstorms are possible on Thursday as a cold front pushes through southern Ontario.
The strongest storms that pop up could produce large hail, strong wind gusts, and heavy rain. #ONstorm

Seeing this video make the rounds today, this is the tornado from Andover Kansas on April 29th 2022. Can’t remember who took the video but I thought I should share just in case it shows up on the tweeter

Please send reports of damage that may be due to a tornado to @NTP_Reports or email [email protected]. You can also visit the Report a Tornado page at our website: uwo.ca/ntp/report.html.
Please also take care when clearing damaged trees - it can be dangerous work. #ONStorm #meteoQC

SUN MAY 22 (10AM) UPDATE: 176,000+ without power at this time. We believe it will be a multi-day outage for some. Crews restoring critical customers like hospitals/emergency services and outages affecting large neighbourhoods. Hope to give more info/details ASAP. Thx for patience

I suspect once the dust clears from today's storm across Ontario & Quebec, it'll likely be classified as a #Derecho. These are particularly powerful wind storms where criteria must be met regarding the storm's wind speed (over 90 km/hr) over time & distance.

We're experiencing more than 165 outages affecting more than 100,000 customers.
At this time we're unable to provide restoration updates due to the extent of the outages caused by the storm. Please consult hydroottawa.com where we will be posting the most updated info.
