Rain and thunderstorms will continue this morning in southern Quebec and taper off in eastern Ontario. From 15-25mm of rain has occurred in most areas, with the heaviest rain remaining to the south of our region across the Adirondacks of New York where a flood watch remains in effect. The forecasted totals were pretty accurate with the 25mm in in our region and the 50-75mm across the areas south of the valley. Look for stubborn low clouds and some showers to remain in the area through most of the weekend. It will not be a washout by any stretch, but it won't be summery either as the temperature remains well below normal.
Yesterday the first tropical depression of the season formed in the Atlantic, and this morning is some 400 miles south southwest of Halifax. It is no threat to land with winds of 35mph and is expected to remain below the Tropical Storm threshold of 39 mph. The season officially begins June 1st and runs through November.
