Environment Canada warns we could see hail, wind gusts between 90 and 110 km/hr, and about 50 mm of rain tonight.

Any thunderstorm activity that may occur is expected to weaken later this evening and overnight.

The area also remains under a heat warning, with humidex values around 40 expected into tonight.

It's going down to 21 this evening, and slightly cooler temperatures with less humidity is expected tomorrow.
