Moderate risk
Hence conditions are favorable for the formation of violent storms across the continent. Thunder could be heard across southern Quebec, from the Outais to the north coast. Stronger cells can wreak havoc, especially during the afternoon and evening hours. In the center of the province, there is a high risk of circulation.
Heavy thunderstorms
Strong winds are expected especially during thunderstorms. Supercells can form and create circulation. Heavy rain is also possible: well-established moisture in the air can increase precipitation. The risk of aquaplaning cannot be ruled out. Hence, caution is required especially when driving large vehicles and trucks.
The probability of lightning is high this Friday afternoon, especially in the center of the province. Starting Friday evening, the system will develop through a cold front and create a surge.
