Stay vigilant as intense storms are forecasted to hit Ontario and Quebec

Stay vigilant as intense storms are forecasted to hit Ontario and Quebec through Sunday.

Severe weather is expected to impact parts of Ontario and Quebec on Sunday, with the risk of severe thunderstorms, localized flooding, and strong wind gusts. The storm system responsible for Saturday's thunderstorms will shift eastward, affecting areas from the Golden Horseshoe to Quebec City. The threat includes the potential for some thunderstorms to become severe, capable of causing significant damage.

The storm risk is high due to high atmospheric instability and moisture levels in the region. The greatest concerns are localized flooding and powerful winds, which can result in dangerous conditions for those with outdoor plans. Additionally, there is a possibility of tornadoes in some areas, particularly in the Ottawa Valley and west of Trois-Rivières towards Quebec City.

The public is advised to stay informed of weather updates, watch for severe weather warnings, and take precautions to stay safe. It is important not to drive through flooded roadways and to be prepared for heavy downpours that may cause poor visibility and slippery conditions. Keep an eye on the radar and be ready to take shelter if necessary.

Remember to check your local weather forecast for the latest information and updates on the evolving situation.
