UPDATE: Strong storms possible for Tuesday night

Environment Canada has ended all severe thunderstorm alerts for southwestern Ontario.

Forecasters were tracking a line of thunderstorms across southwestern Ontario Tuesday night, which prompted a severe thunderstorm watch for Windsor-Essex, Chatham-Kent, including Rondeau Park, Sarnia-Lambton, Elgin, London, as well as Elgin and Middlesex counties.

The watch was rescinded for Windsor-Essex, Chatham-Kent and Sarnia-Lambton at around 11 p.m. and upgraded to a warning for Parkhill and Mount Carmel in Middlesex County at around the same time. All watches and warnings ended around midnight.

Environment Canada warned of heavy rainfall that could reach 50 millimetres in an hour, winds approaching 90 kilometres per hour, and hail about two centimetres in diameter.
