Environment Canada issued a tornado warning for the Peterborough Kawartha Lakes and York Durham area Sunday. The warning was upgraded from a severe thunderstorm warning. Residents of the area are being advised to take the necessary safety precautions and be on the lookout for extreme weather.
Other areas of Southern Ontario, Hamilton, Toronto, Dufferin Innisfil, Halton Peel, Niagara and Waterloo Wellington are under an extreme thunderstorm watch.
The alert is being issued due to the possibility of severe thunderstorms, torrential rainfall and damaging winds.
The system, which is a cold front crossing across Southern Ontario Sunday evening, could also spawn hail and intense, frequent lightning.
