    Folks on the outskirts of the G.T.A. have dodged one bullet but may be receiving another bolt from the blue in exchange.
    Environment Canada has cancelled a tornado watch for a large area of southern Ontario, after an approaching cold front created the possibility of twisters in the area.

    But Mississauga, Brampton, Milton, Caledon, Halton Hills, Guelph, Orangeville, Erin, Wellington County, Cambridge and Kitchener, which were all on the list, aren't out of the weather woods yet.

    They've joined Toronto and other G.T.A. cities in being warned about severe thunderstorms that could hit as the long heatwave finally cools down.

    At least one twister was seen by a weather spotter near Morriston, Ont. at the intersection of Highway 6 and the 401. It dropped heavy rain on the area but doesn't appear to have done much damage before it moved out over Lake Ontario

    But while the rest of us escaped that storm, the exit of the humidity and smog may not go quietly.

    Experts suggest we could get heavy rain, lots of lightning, large hail and damaging winds from a quick moving front that's tracking through the southern part of the provnice.

    The disturbances occur when the hot and cold air masses collide, creating severe and sometimes unpredictable reactions.

    Forecasters are telling you to watch the skies - and local news outlets like CP24 - for the latest updates.

    I'm in Brampton, so there could be a chance of a tornado here as well. It's raining pretty hard outside and it's been thundering for a while now.
