As expected a surge of warm moist air flooded into southern Quebec yesterday. Montreal reached 23.6C late in the day surpassing the normal high by almost 12 degrees. We tumbled down to our current temperature of 5C thanks to strong southwest and eventually northwest winds along a cold front. That front produced wind gusts over 70km/h in Montreal, knocking some tree branches down and disrupting power in several locations including on Ile Perrot.
Yesterday mornings thunderstorms were quite active especially south and west of Montreal. St Anicet on the St. Lawrence River recorded 42.2mm of rain, including 22.2mm between 5-7am in thunderstorms. Heavy rain also created serious flooding across upstate New York and northern Vermont. We Will have a break from the rain today with sunny skies and highs around normal, 11C. It will cloud over tonight in advance of the next weather system, strong low pressure lifting out of the southern US and along the Atlantic coast. Look for rain and chilly temperatures for Wednesday across the region.
