“Conditions are favourable for the development of dangerous thunderstorms that may be capable of producing strong wind gusts and damaging hail,” Environment Canada said on Tuesday night. 

“Severe thunderstorms have developed over a few areas and will likely continue this evening as a cold front approaches.”

Earlier on Tuesday evening, severe thunderstorm warnings were in effect, but they all ended.
