Environment Canada is tracking what it calls a very dangerous thunderstorm, that could be capable of producing destructive winds, large hail and heavy rain.
A severe thunderstorm warning was issued Tuesday afternoon for the Atikokan, Ignace, Quetico and English River areas, with a severe thunderstorm watch also in effect for Dryden and Vermilion Bay.
"This is a dangerous and potentially life-threatening situation. Widespread and extremely strong wind gusts can destroy buildings with tornado-like damage, flatten large stands of trees and blow vehicles off the road," Environment Canada said in the advisory.
