Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) had issued a severe thunderstorm warning for much of southwestern Quebec and the Montreal area.
However, the warning was removed at around 9:10 p.m.
Earlier in the day, the ECCC said conditions were ripe for the development of severe storms “capable of producing strong gusts, large hail and heavy rain.”
A tornado warning was also issued shortly before 2 p.m. for the Lachute area but that also was lifted.
Some of the regions that were affected by the thunderstorm warning included:
- Longueuil – Varennes
- Chateauguay – La Prairie
- Valleyfield-Beauharnois
Severe thunderstorm watches are in effect for much of southern Quebec. (ECCC)
The rain in Montreal is forecast to last until about Thursday at 9 a.m.
There are also weather warnings for rain and wind alerts for regions across Quebec.
