Severe Thunderstorms on the way

Heavy thunderstorms are moving into the southwest corner of the province at this hour and will spread north and east as the day moves along. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is already in effect for those regions. We can expect these storms to reach us here in Kemptville late this afternoon and continue into the evening. This will only add to our already impressive rain totals for the year thus far. Toronto will surpass its all time rain record today when it moves over 600mm for the year. This amount is double what fell all of last year. The extended forecast looks like more showers for the holiday weekend, but it should clear up and turn quite warm for Civic Monday.
