The unsettled weather is continuing.

Special weather statements have been issued again for much of northwestern Ontario, and that includes a tornado watch for Dryden, Fort Frances and points east.

Luke Crawford from Environment Canada says areas near the Canada/US border will likely see the most thunderstorm activity.

“Fort Frances and then along that Highway 11 corridor seems to be the most volatile area for those thunderstorms,” explains Crawford.

“A place like Dryden and Ignace still could be under the gun for severe thunderstorms as well.”

Crawford says the unsettled weather will continue most of today into the early Saturday morning.

“Today especially, we’re getting that humidity really building up.  All that combined with the cold front is actually what is going to set off those thunderstorms later today.  So, they do go together in that sense.  Behind that cold front, we should get out of the heat and the thunderstorms as we get into the weekend.”

Crawford suggests the unsettled weather could be with us the rest of today and even overnight further to the east towards Thunder Bay.
