Heavy rain is adding to the flooding southeast of Montreal in the Richelieu Valley. The record flooding has been ongoing for the last 6 weeks. (Montreal Gazette photo)
While sunshine and warmth continue here on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, wild weather has been occurring across a large area of North America. Severe thunderstorms produced more heavy rain and flooding in Vermont, New York, Quebec and Ontario today. Many regions have had 50 to 100 mm (2-4 inches) of rain and more is likely on Saturday. A frontal boundary along the US border remains the focus for heavy thunderstorms with warm and humid air south of the front and a cold northeast breeze and light rain north of the front in the St. Lawrence Valley. The front will lift north tomorrow with the risk of thunderstorms moving back into the Montreal area. More heavy rain is likely. For a comparison it was 30C and sunny here today on Hatteras Island, while Montreal was 12C with rain.
