Saturday's risk, non-severe, isolated thunderstorms
Severe thunderstorms, large hail and heavy rain has moved into portions of southern Ontario.
Just before 3:00 p.m. Friday, Environment Canada issued a severe thunderstorm warning for the City of Hamilton as marble-to-golfball sized hail and heavy rain fell across the region.
While the large hail is "somewhat of a surprise," Rob Davis, a meteorologist at The Weather Network, say it's not an uncommon during the summer months.
"This storm is moving slowly," he adds. "That means the city could see a significant rainfall before the storm pushes through the region."
The storm appears to be weakening as it moves in a northward direction towards Aldershot.
"Severe storms are now tracking towards Brantford, Cambridge and Kitchener-Waterloo," Davis says. "The main concerns will be large hail and local flooding."
