Quebecers will have to arm themselves with their umbrellas on Sunday since a system coming from the Great Lakes will bring rain and storms to the province.
Thunderstorms are expected very early in the morning on Sunday, persisting in the form of showers throughout the day, according to Environment Canada.
In the south and center of the province, particularly in the regions of Montreal, Quebec, Estrie and Outaouais, storms are expected until the end of the morning, continuing with showers until the end of evening.
“There is a low risk that thunderstorms will continue later in the day,” said Environment Canada meteorologist Guillaume Perron.
In Abitibi-Témiscamingue, sunny spells are expected early in the afternoon, breaking the gray of the weekend. No serious accumulation of rain was reported by the federal agency for Sunday.
Despite the gray weather and showers, “we expect mild, even warm temperatures,” added the meteorologist.
Temperatures of up to 22°C in Outaouais and 19°C in the Montreal region are expected.
In the regions of Quebec and Bas-Saint-Laurent, an average temperature of 14°C is expected.
In Saguenay, we expect up to 18°C at the hottest time of the day.
The mercury will drop drastically at the start of the week with the arrival of a low pressure system bringing cold winds to the south and west of the province, according to Mr. Perron. “We should see a rise in temperatures mid-week,” starting on Wednesday, he concluded.
