Monday, September 4, 2017, 6:15 PM - Potentially severe thunderstorms were expected across southern and central Ontario to cap off Labour Day, with the main threats being damaging winds and hail.

At about 9:00 p.m. on Monday, severe thunderstorm watches were in effect for much of southwestern Ontario, which threatened large hail, torrential rain, and strong winds.

At that time, the threats slowly began to drop, effectively leaving only a looming threat of some scattered showers into Tuesday morning.

Looking ahead, after Monday's brief spike, temperatures cool into the midweek, with highs barely breaking the 20-degree mark.

"Below seasonal temperatures expected across the region Tuesday onward, with the chance for spotty showers here and there through Thursday," adds Soderholm.

High pressure looks to build again through late week.
