The weather has taken a bit of a tranquil trend these last few days here in Montreal. The main thunderstorm activity this morning remains across the central portion of the country from the southern Prairies into Iowa. Our cold front that produced very little weather in southern Quebec Wednesday, is now well off the east coast and has left behind a cool, dry and almost September like air mass. Temperatures are in the low teens this morning in the city, the coolest readings since the first of the month. It will be even cooler this evening with lows near 10C in Montreal and as cool as 4C north of the city. The weekend looks ideal with sunny skies, low humidity and temperatures between 25 and 27C. As mentioned, the heavy weather remains out west while the deep south continues to swelter with temperatures in the mid 90's and high humidity. The tropics are quiet for the time being with just a couple of waves of interest at this point, and no development expected this weekend.
Despite the heavy rainfall this month in Montreal from thunderstorm activity, it remains very dry in most of the province. Montreal is just shy of 100mm (4 inches), but other portions of the province are dangerously dry. Quebec City and surrounding regions are very dry with less than 40mm of rain so far this July.
