It’s the end of the long weekend in Ontario and many folks across the province have been enjoying a quick, midsummer getaway. It’s important to keep an eye out for storms, however, especially if you’re extending your stay at the cottage or planning to spend time outdoors Monday and Tuesday.
DON’T MISS: Latest Ottawa tornado reached wind speeds of 130 km/h
A rainy start to the last day of the long weekend for southern Ontario as a warm front brought a bout of precipitation into early Monday morning, extending from Windsor to the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
There may some thunderstorms embedded within the widespread rain but they will be non-severe in nature. Heavier rain and higher amounts are expected with any areas that see the embedded storms.
Monday doesn’t look to be a total washout, thankfully, as we’ll see dry periods over the region throughout the day. We’ll watch the potential for additional thunderstorms on Monday evening as a cold front marches through southern Ontario.
Unfortunately, those dry breaks will be harder to come by in eastern Ontario and southern Quebec, where the rain looks to lock in through the majority of our day on Monday. The rain will linger across southern Quebec into Tuesday.

By Tuesday morning, southwestern Ontario will be clear but some rain is going to stick around into the afternoon for areas within the GTA. The heavier bands will be farther northeast with the embedded storms impacting eastern Ontario and southern Quebec.
Most areas will get 20-30 mm of rainfall. The same can’t be said for eastern Ontario and southern Quebec where, locally, rainfall totals of 50-80 mm is forecast in an area stretching from eastern Lake Ontario to the St. Lawrence River. Some localized flash-flooding is possible in this region, as heavy rains threaten Kingston, Ont., and Montreal, Que.
Lesser amounts are forecast across southwestern Ontario, but most places will likely accumulate at least 10-20 mm of rainfall.
Behind this cold front, temperatures will drop to just below seasonal. By Wednesday, however, some warmer temperatures return with the mercury climbing close to 30°C across southwestern Ontario and with mid-20s forecast elsewhere.
