Severe thunderstorm watch issued in New Brunswick; further risk of thunderstorms Friday
CTV Atlantic meteorologist Kalin Mitchell goes over the risk of thunderstorms in the Maritimes Thursday and Friday. A weak weather front draped over the Gaspe Peninsula is expected to be enough to trigger thunderstorms in New Brunswick Thursday. A second weather front brings a risk of thunderstorms to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island Friday. Severe thunderstorm watch Environment Canada posted a severe thunderstorm watch for parts of western and northern New Brunswick late Thursday morning. They give the period of greatest risk of thunderstorms as Thursday afternoon until late Thursday evening. The watch cautions thunderstorms could bring rainfall rates of 30 mm per hour, localized wind gusts to 90+ km/h, and up to dime-sized hail. The weather agency also notes 'some of the thunderstorms that develop have a slight potential to produce a tornado mainly across Madawaska and western Restigouche counties.' Downpours associated with the thunderstorms also bring a risk of flash flooding. The situation with thunderstorms can change quickly. Residents in western and northern New Brunswick should be weather aware on Thursday and have a way to check in on the latest watches and warnings issued. Thursday risk The risk of severe thunderstorms Thursday is highest in western and northern areas of New Brunswick. Risk shifts to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island Friday A cold front that will break the humidity in New Brunswick by Friday morning continues into Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Both of those provinces can expect scattered showers with a risk of thunderstorms Friday morning and afternoon. The risk of thunderstorms should be diminished by Friday evening. Drier air filtering in behind the front will lower the overall level of humidity for Saturday region wide. Temperatures are still very warm on Saturday, with most highs in the mid-to-high 20s, but a much more comfortable feel to the air is expected. Friday risk The risk of thunderstorms shifts to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island Friday morning and afternoon. Fire danger high-to-extreme With the exception of some coastal areas and the northwestern corner of New Brunswick, Natural Resources Canada had much of the Maritimes as rated as high-to-extreme for fire danger. Prince Edward Island, southeastern New Brunswick, northern Nova Scotia and Cape Breton are some of the areas with the most elevated fire danger risk. While scattered, showers and thunderstorms will bring some rain to the region Thursday and Friday – it won't be a widespread, soaking rainfall. The agency does predict a lowering of the fire danger for Friday before it begins to rise again Saturday. A further round of showers is forecast for the Maritimes on Sunday. Fire danger Current fire danger rating for the Maritimes per Natural Resources Canada. For more New Brunswick news, visit our dedicated provincial page.

Tornado warning over in Pembroke area
A brief tornado warning for the Pembroke area has ended, but a severe thunderstorm warning has popped up just across the Ottawa River west of Gatineau. Overall, eastern Ontario and western Quebec could see heavy wind, rain and lightning Thursday under a swath of severe thunderstorm watches, according to Environment Canada. Forecasters say there's also the risk of a tornado around Ottawa on Thursday afternoon. There is no mention of a tornado risk for communities such as Bancroft, Belleville and Pembroke. Wind gusts up to 90 or 100 km/h are possible across eastern Ontario, and the area could get more than 50 millimetres of rain. The storms could bring hail to the Outaouais. A severe thunderstorm made its way east across the Algonquin Park area mid-morning Thursday. A strong thunderstorm with the possibility of a tornado hit the Pembroke area late Thursday morning. Some local heat warnings remain, but are expected to end soon. A cold front moving into the region is contributing to the potential storms, forecasters say. If a tornado forms, residents are advised to stay away from exterior walls and windows, ideally in a basement or on the ground floor, and to get out of vehicles. Environment Canada recommends staying indoors and take cover in a basement where possible during threatening weather, and notes strong winds can damage trees or buildings and overturn vehicles. It issues a severe thunderstorm watch when conditions are favourable for a storm to develop. A warning is issued when there is evidence that a thunderstorm is imminent or occurring that will produce damaging hail, wind or rain.
