Smoke, stormy potential kicks off work week in southern Ontario

Air quality will once again be deteriorating across southern Ontario as we head into the work week. Low-level smoke from wildfires will keep the air quality hovering at a medium risk throughout the week.

As the weekend ends with localised thunderstorms, some reaching severe, the work week may also be off to a stormy start for many in southern Ontario.

Monday

Areas: Southern Ontario

Timing: Afternoon and evening hours

Weather: There is a continued possibility of some non-severe thunderstorms in through the eastern parts of southern Ontario Monday afternoon.

It is thanks to a cold front, which is moving into southern Ontario. With that daytime heating, the front will help produce those thunderstorms, which will be scattered in nature.

Temperatures are expected to be similar to Sunday’s. With the humidity, it is going to continue to feel a lot more like the low 30s, sticking with that warm, muggy feeling.
