A tornado warning has been canceled for the Barrie, Collingwood and Hillsdale areas, but a number of other watches and warnings remain in effect for some rural areas.
Environment Canada issued the warning just after 3 p.m. and then replaced it with a severe thunderstorm warning just before 4 p.m.
A severe tornado watch remains in effect for Gray County, Bruce Peninsula, Tobermory, Sauble Beach, Owen Sound, Hanover, Dundalk and Kincardine.
Environment Canada has also issued a severe thunderstorm warning for a number of nearby communities, including Midland and Orillia.
It says heavy rainfall with accumulated amounts of up to 50 millimeters is possible in some areas.
“Environment Canada meteorologists are tracking a severe thunderstorm capable of producing very strong wind gusts to nickel-sized hail and heavy rain,” the warning said.
