Strong storms

Environment Canada has posted a severe thunderstorm watch for most of the day across southern Quebec south and east of Montreal. This area will be the focus for strong storms that could produce up to 50mm (2 inches) of rain in a very short period of time. This could result in flash flooding as well as a continued threat of prolonged flooding in the Richelieu River Valley and Lake Champlain basin.

Meanwhile the sun is shinning here on the Outer Banks today and it is 83F at 10am. Some storms are developing over the sound to our west in the warm and humid air. Yesterday one of my favorite beaches, Cape Hatteras light in Buxton was named the Top 5 beach in the US by Dr Beach. You can read all about it HERE. Ironically right about the time they were releasing the top 10 list yesterday, I was enjoying the surf at that location and taking pictures of the famed lighthouse shown above
