Northeast winds are forecast to intensify near the St. Lawrence River this evening. Winds will reach up to 90 km/h.

A nearly stationary low pressure system near Cape Cod has been giving rain over southern and Eastern Quebec for more than 48 hours. This system will slowly reach Anticosti Island Monday morning. The heaviest rain will affect regions south of the St Lawrence River. Another 30 to 50 millimetres is still expected over the Eastern Townships and the eastern tip of the Gaspé Peninsula over the next 36 hours. Water levels could rise locally.

Meanwhile, this low pressure system will maintain strong northeast winds in the Quebec City area today, especially over the St. Lawrence River and the shores. Winds will reach severe limits this evening.

The combination of these winds and the current period of large tidal range could again produce coastal flooding in the Quebec City area Sunday morning.
