Wicked Lightning


I took this video around 9pm tonight on L'Ile Perrot looking west. The lightning was vivid, some of the best this summer. ValleyWX Pic

The sun broke out today behind a warm front allowing the mercury to rise rapidly to 26C in Montreal and into the upper 20's in eastern Ontario. The warm and humid air is combining with a potent cold front tonight to produce some nasty thunderstorms across Ontario and Quebec. The first line went through around 9pm with intense lightning and some gusty winds. Warnings have now been issued for that line of storms as they slide southeast into the Richelieu Valley and Townships. Meanwhile a second line of storm stretches from Ottawa to the St. Lawrence River. These cells are moving east towards Montreal. Warnings for this line of storms have been issued for the Ottawa Valley between the west end of Montreal and the Ontario border. The activity should begin to taper off after midnight as the front moves east of the city.
