Environment Canada says to expect 90km wind, toonie size hail, this afternoon

Expecting some intense weather this afternoon, and possibly into the evening for Niagara.

Environment Canada says to be ready for severe thunderstorms that'll carry with it 90kms wind gusts, and up to toonie sized hail.

That'll be due to a cold front moving through Ontario this afternoon.

Environment Canada adds large hail can damage property and cause injury, while heavy downpours can cause flash floods.

The agency also says to go indoors during a thunderstorm.
