rainfall warning in effect
Heavy rain on tap.
What:
Rainfall amounts of 30 to 40 millimetres are expected.
When:
Beginning overnight tonight and continuing into Wednesday night.
Where:
From the Montérégie region to Quebec City.
Additional information:
An intense low pressure system will bring rain over southern and central Quebec. As the ground is frozen and has a reduced ability to absorb moisture, significant amounts of water could accumulate on roads and in other areas. A significant rise in the flow and level of some rivers is also quite possible.
After that, temperatures are expected to drop overnight Wednesday night possibly leading to flash freezing of ponded water. Roads may become slippery, causing difficult travel conditions and transportation delays on Thursday morning. Plummetting temperatures will also come with very strong winds, which may damage trees and equipment, and flurries which, in addition to reducing visibilities, could leave a few centimetres of snow locally.
Consider changing any non-essential travel plans for this period.
