Quebec’s position is unenviable. Forecast.

And bref:

• Quebec is on a bad trajectory;

• Several systems will be passing through within a week;

• The south of the province finds itself in a strong contrast.

April sets the tone

The gray weather that Quebec experienced in April is expected to continue over the coming days. Indeed, several systems would be passing through Quebec while the province is in an unfavorable trajectory. Even if the anticipated amounts of rain will not be excessive, gray weather is likely to dominate the next seven days.

One system after another

On Thursday, a disturbance would leave the territory after generating showers and thunderstorms. Then, from the weekend, a system that is both complex and imposing risks spoiling the holiday with rain on the schedule. The west of the province would be entitled to showers on Saturday. A rainy Sunday is anticipated for most regions. By the middle of next week, models indicate that another system could cross Quebec.

Unfavorable context

The play of air masses is at the origin of this unfavorable situation for Quebec. At this time of year, the vortex remains present near the pole and Arctic air can still flow to our latitudes. With the heat in the south and the cold in the north, the strong winds at altitude take a trajectory that brings the disturbances right to our home. An unblocking would therefore be desirable so that a cretage can form to allow the heat and good weather to settle in.
