More hot and humid weather is forecast for Montreal through next Tuesday. (AccuWeather.com) |
There is a little good news on the horizon. A weak frontal boundary will move into southern Quebec overnight into Saturday morning, with some scattered showers. The rain will be light and isolated, but any moisture is welcome. Unfortunately this front will open the door to another hot and humid period, lasting into Tuesday. Daytime highs across the area will be in the low 30s, with humidex values approaching 38C (100F) Sunday and Monday. On Tuesday, a more potent cold arrives with numerous showers and thunderstorms. This front has the potential to bring Montreal our first appreciable rain of the month.
