UPDATE: Thunderstorm watch ended for midwestern Ontario

Environment Canada says conditions have improved after issuing a severe thunderstorm watch for midwestern Ontario earlier Tuesday.

The weather agency announced in the afternoon that watches were in effect due to a cold front moving through the area.

It was expected to trigger severe thunderstorms, but forecasters later altered it to a special weather statement for winds, before removing it altogether around 8 p.m.
