Severe weather likely on Sunday
Sunday will kick off with an early-morning mesoscale convective system (MCS) expected to develop stateside.
This organized line of thunderstorms will push into northwestern Ontario and head toward the Thunder Bay area. Expect this first round of storms between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. local time.
DON'T MISS:
A second line of severe thunderstorms will develop and approach the area during the afternoon hours.
Large hail, gusty winds, heavy rainfall, and one or two tornadoes are possible in these storms. The environment is favourable for rotating thunderstorms near the international border, including Fort Frances and Atikokan.
STAY SAFE:
There remains some uncertainty in the timing and coverage of the lines of storms in northwestern Ontario, as they depend on the timing of the cold front's arrival and the atmosphere's ability to destabilize itself amid the wildfire smoke over the region.
Folks across southern Manitoba, including Winnipeg, could see severe thunderstorms fire up beginning Sunday afternoon as a low-pressure system moves into the region. The main hazard from this cluster of storms will be large hail and heavy rainfall.

Wildfire smoke brings hazy skies and cool air to D.C. area
A thin veil of smoke from wildfires burning in Canada is worsening air quality and putting a lid on temperatures in the D.C. area. The smoke, which has resulted in some of the world's worst air quality in the Upper Midwest and Northeast, is only wafting through the Mid-Atlantic in limited quantities, but it's enough to have a small impact.

Inland Empire experiences 4 earthquakes overnight
A total of four earthquakes rocked the Inland Empire overnight, meaning the region experienced five quakes across a 13-hour span on Tuesday and Wednesday. The series began with a 3.5 magnitude quake at 4:55 p.m. near Rialto. The U.S. Geological Survey said it was felt throughout the I.E., including in Ontario and Fontana. Several hours later, back-to-back 3.5 magnitude quakes were reported around three miles southeast of Ontario. The first occurred at 1:02 a.m. and was about four miles in depth, while the second was 12 minutes later at 1:14 a.m., about 3.8 miles in depth, according to the USGS. Less than one hour after that pair, the first of two quakes near Lytle Creek in the San Gabriel Mountains of San Bernardino County struck. That quake, the strongest of the five, was logged at a 3.7 magnitude at 2 a.m. The USGS reports it was felt in parts of the high desert and the I.E. A second quake hit around three miles to the north of Lytle Creek at 5:25 a.m. This one, a 2.5 magnitude, was the weakest of all reported earthquakes during the 13-hour span. As of Wednesday morning, no damages or injuries were reported.
