A stormy Saturday ended with at least two reports of tornadoes touching down in southern Ontario, near Woodstock and Lindsay. Heading into Monday, forecasters are watching the risk for stormy weather to fire back up across southern and eastern regions of the province.
A warm front is expected to lift across southern and eastern Ontario early Monday--part of a low-pressure system forecast to move into southern Quebec by the afternoon. However, it's the associated cold front trailing the warm front that will trigger isolated thunderstorms and rain through the day.
