Environment Canada issues severe thunderstorm watch

Environment Canada issued a severe thunderstorm watch for the island of Montreal and surrounding areas Saturday.
The agency warns of conditions “favourable for the development of dangerous thunderstorms that may be capable of producing strong wind gusts, large hail and torrential rain.”
The watch is in effect until 11:00 p.m. and comes as a result of a warm, humid airmass hovering over Southern Quebec this weekend.
