The southeast is feeling some unstable weather as that's crashing into the area, with storms in the skies through the day. That's coming after what was a sunny, gorgeous weekend that felt like summer.
Environment and Climate Change Canada Meteorologist Stephen Berg takes a look at the recent showers that the growing intensity of the storm is thanks to a bit of instability in the air.
"Just a little bit extra instability, I guess, in the atmosphere that produced the thunder. Got the showers. Didn't actually go really over any of the stations, so we don't really have much in terms of the precipitation numbers for you. Really, nothing at all. But there was rain that came out of it."
Wind gusts ran up to 50 km per hour during the storm, with Berg saying there were dozens of lightning strikes through that system.
The storm continues into today, with Berg saying people will need to keep an eye out for any more activity.
"It looks like for the late afternoon, that'll be more from the cold front passage. That'll be bringing temperatures down quite a bit for today for a high of 16, which is around normal compared to the heat that was present over the weekend."
Instability will continue heading into the day, though Berg thinks we won't see much more in terms of thunder.
"There's a possibility of some more showers, but it doesn't appear to be much of a chance of thunderstorms beyond the early morning period. But the winds will be continuing to be pretty high from the north, gusts possibly up to 60 tonight, but diminishing by the late night or late evening period."
Berg says the forecast isn't all bad news, as we'll see a return to warm, summer-like conditions by Thursday this week.
