Severe Thunderstorm Watch

A potent cold front is racing across Ontario at this hour. Doppler radar is showing a line of strong thunderstorms from the Ottawa Valley to Lake Ontario. This front will push into eastern Ontario this afternoon, and southern Quebec late this afternoon and this evening. Environment Canada has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for the metro Montreal region and all of southern and western Quebec. The main threat with these storms will be heavy rain and gusty winds to 90km/h. The front is moving quickly so skies should clear out late this evening in the region.
