We managed to salvage a few hours out of the long weekend as skies slowly cleared out Sunday afternoon. It was enough sunshine to push the temperature up into the mid 20's. Skies were relatively clear overnight but with plenty of moisture around, fog has developed this morning across the area. Once that burns off, and it has already in Montreal, we should see a sunny and warm June day with temperatures rising above 27C in all regions. Skies will remain clear overnight and it will be pleasant with lows around 17C. A cold front will approach the region on Tuesday with sowers and thunderstorms developing in the late afternoon. We will have another warm day near 28C, with gusty southwest winds developing in the afternoon. Some of the storms could be strong late in the day from eastern Ontario into southern Quebec and northern New England. The middle portion of the week will be unsettled before another warm air mass arrives for next weekend. At this time is looks sunny and warm for Canada Day.
TEXAS HEAT: Searing heat continues to affect the southern plains and is now moving east into the southeast and middle Atlantic. Temperatures were in the 90's and 100's yesterday with heat index values above 110F. The air temperature in Childress, Texas was 117F. There is no relief on the map from this heat at the moment. Poor air quality is still a problem across the Outer Banks of North Carolina, as it was when I was down last month. Thick smoke from wildfires burning in mainland Dare County continues to drift over the coast with low visibilities and choking air quality. In the northern plains, severe flooding is still occurring along the Souris River in North Dakota. Nearly 11,000 residents have had to flee their homes.
