KAWARTHA LAKES-Environment Canada has upgraded a watch to a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Haliburton and Minden areas.
At 12:58 p.m. EDT, Environment Canada meteorologists are tracking a severe thunderstorm capable of producing very strong wind gusts, up to nickel size hail and heavy rain.
This severe thunderstorm is located 7 kilometres west of Brady Lake, moving east at 65 km/h with 90 km/h wind gusts and nickel size hail.
