Severe thunderstorms are possible in Montreal through midnight. (ValleyWeather Photo) |
A line of very strong thunderstorms is moving across eastern Ontario and western Quebec Saturday afternoon. The storms are bubbling up in the very warm and humid airmass along a cold front. Widespread severe thunderstorm watches are in effect, as well as a tornado watch across eastern Ontario.
Very dangerous frequent lightning, gusty winds, hail and even an isolated tornado is possible within the strongest cells.
More recently a tornado warning was issued for the Papineau region, for a storm showing rotation near Lac-Simon in western Quebec.
The storms will vary in intensity and persist for most of the evening hours before weakening after midnight.
A line of storms early Saturday morning produced thousands of lightning strikes across southwestern Quebec, with an almost constant rumble of thunder for over an hour.
