Heavy Rain

The Red River in North Dakota continues to flood and has reached a record 42 feet at Fargo. More rain and snow will complicate the flood this week.

Two low pressure areas, one over the Great Lakes and the second developing over New England will control our weather today into Monday. Heavy rain already falling along the 401 corridor will move into southern Quebec this afternoon. The heaviest rain will occur north of Montreal, over 35mm there, this has prompted heavy rain warnings. South of that region in Montreal and across New England and eastern Ontario lesser amounts of 15-25mm will occur. The rain is needed as it has been a very dry month. At this time there are no concerns for flooding.

The balance of the week will remain unsettled with periods of rain and snow possible again by mid week.
