The tornado warning also warns that Still River is in the storm's path.

The tornado watches are for: Bruce Peninsula, Sauble Beach, Tobermory, Parry Sound, Muskoka, Bancroft, Bon Echo Park, Brockville, Leeds and Grenville, Ottawa, Gatineau, Prescott and Russell, Cornwall, Morrisburg, Smiths Falls, Lanark, Sharbot Lake, Haliburton, Renfrew, Pembroke, Barry's Bay, Algonquin, Burk's Falls, Bayfield Inlet.
Heavy rain in storms could mean 40 millimetres in southern Ontario and as much as 60 mm in western and southern Quebec, with higher amounts possible in localized areas.

Montreal also sees the risk for severe weather today with a high of 33 C, feeling like 45 with humidex.
Heavy rain in storms could mean 40 millimetres in southern Ontario and as much as 60 mm in western and southern Quebec, with higher amounts possible in localized areas.
The Toronto area reached official heat wave status — three straight days of 32 C or higher — when a high of 33.7 C was measured at Pearson International Airport Thursday. Ottawa reached the same status by Wednesday.
In Mississauga, hundreds of residents of an apartment building were forced outside in the sweltering conditions early Friday after an electrical fire cut power to their building.
The Maritimes will also be muggy and unsettled Friday as humid air moves in with humidex values in the low to mid 30s, and a thunderstorm risk for New Brunswick.
Eastern Canada isn't alone in facing severe weather.
In Western Canada, there is a risk of thunderstorms in large swath south of a line that extends from northeastern B.C. through Saskatoon to southwestern Manitoba.
