Conditions are favourable for the development of squalls with wind gusts up to 35 knots, frequent lightning and hail. A cluster of thunderstorms is expected to move across Lake Huron late this evening into overnight. ### Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. For more information monitor Canadian Coast Guard radio or Weatheradio stations.

Vessels without lightning protection should make their way to shore immediately. Mariners are advised to prepare for potential squalls. Vulnerable vessels are most at risk and should seek safe harbour if underway.
