A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect for Greater Napanee and the surrounding area.
Environment Canada says conditions are favourable for the development of severe thunderstorms that may be capable of producing strong wind gusts and large hail.
Thunderstorms are expected to develop early this afternoon with the potential for quick intensification. It is predicted we may receive nickel to ping pong ball size hail as well wind gusts of 90 to 110 km/h.
Officials say while a tornado or two cannot be completely ruled out, damaging winds and hail will be the primary threats.
