The heat and humidity continue to fuel thunderstorms. The risk is maintained until tomorrow, but weakens a little. Forecast.
An active Friday
The heavy weather allowed the formation of a few storm cells during the day on Friday. The sectors on the south shore of the St. Lawrence were the most affected. Rivière-Bleue notably received nearly 45 millimeters of rain and gusts caused slight damage locally. However, the evening should be calmer for these sectors.
The risk is moving to the north side of the river in the early evening. In fact, a newly formed line of thunderstorms triggers several severe thunderstorm warnings near Saguenay and La Tuque. To monitor.
A potential for thunderstorms on Saturday
The risk is maintained on Saturday for a sixth consecutive day. Two ingredients will be favorable to the development of thunderstorms during the afternoon: heat and humidity. The areas south of the St. Lawrence River, including Estrie, Beauce and Gaspésie are the most likely to see the formation of cells, but isolated thunderstorms could also form across the province. Heavy rain and a few gusts will accompany the passage of these storms.
