The risk of severe thunderstorms has increased on Tuesday. Forecast.
Active Days
While the storm continues overnight from Monday to Tuesday, Quebec is in for another active day. In fact, the passage of a fairly weak front will cause uplift and could generate violent thunderstorms in the south of the province. By noon on Tuesday, the heat and moisture in the atmosphere will fuel and thunderstorm cells are likely to form.
Potentially severe thunderstorms
Areas outlined in yellow indicate a risk of tornadoes on Tuesday, while areas highlighted in orange mean they could be violent. According to the models, there is a high risk of seeing these storm cells produce torrential rain, strong gusts and large hail. Nearly the entire province is at risk, while the area extends into Gaspésie.
a lot of energy
The amount of water vapor in the atmosphere provides good fuel for storms. In fact, this moisture represents what we call precipitable water or what a storm could potentially drop. One of the dangers of these storm cells is the large amount of water falling in a short period of time.
Tornado threat
Currently, NOAA predicts that the tornado threat will remain south of the border. However, this area could extend far south into the province. Supercells could form with opposing winds that will produce rotation. The situation will be monitored on Tuesday.
