The greatest confidence for severe thunderstorms is Essex County with the risk of lightning, heavy rainfall, and a possible, isolated risk of small hail.

The evening cold front will try to develop a line of storms for Kitchener to Windsor before the front crosses Lake Erie.

Regardless of the strength of the storms, the cold front will be efficient, dropping temps by 15° to 20° by Friday morning.
