Knight warned people to expect more severe weather Tuesday.
“We’re likely to see an even larger outbreak of severe weather later this afternoon and tonight, just sweeping west to east across the entire southern half of the province,” he said early Tuesday morning.
Knight said the storms are expected to form a long line and carry the risk of plough winds.
The southern half of the province remains under an extreme heat warning which means people should watch out for signs of heat stroke or heat exhaustion, particularly in young children, seniors and people with underlying health conditions.
