After a sunny Saturday, deluge of rain forecast to end Montreal weekend
After sunny skies on Saturday, Montrealers and Quebecers in Sherbrooke and elsewhere should expect a deluge of wet weather to end the weekend.
Environment and Climate Change Canada issued a special weather statement on Saturday morning and again on Saturday night, calling for 30 to 50 millimetres of rain from Sunday night until Monday evening.
A weather system bringing mild air and rain will move up the American Eastern Seaboard early next week," the release from ECCC reads. "Mild temperatures will cause the snow cover to melt, which could further contribute to the runoff and raise the water level of some rivers. Fog patches may accompany the rain."
The agency notes that the frozen ground has a "reduced ability" to absorb the rain.
The statement is in place for the following regions:
- Mont-Orford - Lake Memphrémagog area
- Sherbrooke area
- Metro Montreal - Laval
- Vaudreuil area
- Valleyfield - Beauharnois area
The rain is forecast to change to snow on Tuesday.
