Heavy rains are expected in Southern Quebec on Wednesday afternoon, as the remnants of tropical storm Beryl could bring up to 60 millimetres of rain.
Environment and Climate Change Canada has issued a weather statement for the island of Montreal due to the expected downpour. Rainfall amounts between 30 and 50 millimetres are expected in Montreal, along with moderate winds.
David Phillips, senior climatologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada, says this system still has a lot of uncertainty.
"We have seen the system actually move a little further south. So it actually goes south of Montreal, but it is not going to miss Montreal," Phillips says.
"Montreal is clearly going to see the rain from this. It may just not be the amounts that they will see further south and further east, say the Eastern Townships."
Currently, a rainfall warning is in effect for the Sherbrooke area. Rainfall between 50 and 70 millimetres is expected, as well as moderate winds.
