The Montreal area is under a severe thunderstorm watch ahead of expected rainfall Monday afternoon. The Environment Canada alert covers Montreal Island and Laval. The Montérégie, Estrie, and Centre-du-Québec regions are also covered by the watch, as is Gatineau.
Environment Canada has put several areas of Quebec under a severe thunderstorm watch ahead of showers expected across much of the province beginning Sunday. It has also issued a rainfall warning for municipalities on the North Shore of the Saint Lawrence River near Montreal.Those areas, including Saint-Jérome, Joliette and Mascouche, could get between 50 and 80 millimetres of rain between Monday and Tuesday, according to Envirocan.
As if we weren t suffering enough from the bitter cold and semi-lockdown, Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement as winter storm approaches Quebec. The system could dump as many as 25 cm of snow on parts of the province, including Montreal, through Monday, according to the federal weather agency. The Weather Network, meanwhile, says totals could reach 30 cm.
Don t pack away your light coat, rain boots and umbrellas just yet. You might unfortunately still need them if The Weather Network s Quebec winter weather forecast holds up. A national winter weather outlook released November 29 warns of "a stormy winter [.] broken up at times by extended periods of rather mild temperatures."
