September 10, 2016 - tornado warnings

[SlideShowBob]

It looks like we have another day that could be interesting. The SPC has the slight risk in our cross-hairs.

Don't want to jinx it, but it could be significant.

Careful out there...it's a popular Saturday and the roads are going to be busy.

[cumulonimbus]

My fingers are crossed that something may develop. I'll be on the road in west GTA - I'll charge my Gopro just in case.

[Stormydude]

I hear Reed Timmer is going to be chasing in the area today. That's how good the storms could be.

[DarkSky]

Severe thunderstorm warning just issued for St. Catharines and Niagara Region areas.

Storm cells pushing up from SW, tops at 55,000 ft.

We've had some dark skies and light rain but nothing big yet.
