==weather event discussion==

Two clusters of thunderstorms blasted across Southern Ontario
Tuesday afternoon as the warm air of summer continues to battle a
much cooler airmass just to the north. There were quite a few
Reports of small hail, very heavy downpours, strong and gusty winds
and frequent lightning from the thunderstorms, which were also
responsible for a number of power outages.

There was damage to trees and buildings reported at cambray, which
Is southwest of Fenelon Falls, as the first area of thunderstorms
roared across. A team from Environment Canada will travel to the
Fenelon Falls area today to assess the damage.

These thunderstorms spawned a number of severe thunderstorm watches
and warnings which have since been discontinued.

Reports from severe thunderstorms received by Environment Canada as
of 6.00 AM today are found in the table below.
