More storms today

I measured 20mm of rain here on Ile Perrot last night as a thunderstorm crossed the area around 10pm. Only 2mm fell at the airport. The rain was very welcome in my neighbourhood where all the lawns had become a crisp yellow. This morning we are already at a very humid 24C (76F) with the ever present risk of showers and thunderstorms all day as a weak front lies to our northwest. Humidex values will be well into the 30's today making it feel uncomfortable. Some of the storms this afternoon may be on the strong side with heavy rain being the main threat. Radar this morning is showing a line of storms well to the north of Montreal across the northern Laurentians along with several isolated cells in eastern Ontario. They may pop up in the metro region at anytime today.
