Severe storms, strong winds and rain will travel as far as Ontario and continue down the path to Quebec due to a very specific atmospheric current.

What to expect in Quebec?

Although this Saturday will be very pleasant, the weather will be changeable towards the end of the day. Thunderstorms and several millimeters of rain are expected in areas of Témiscamingue.

Storms will move eastward across the province during the night from Saturday to Sunday. A few lightning strikes are possible in Montreal, south of Quebec, but these disturbances will likely continue their path toward Caspé during the day and decrease in intensity. On the other hand, the entire province will be submerged in water this Sunday.

Rainfall will continue intermittently with rain on Monday, April 29 and last until Thursday, May 2.
