MONTREAL — Tropical Storm Isaias is making its way through Quebec’s Eastern Townships, bringing with it strong winds and heavy rain.
Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for a southern swath of the province and New Brunswick.
The agency says the storm is transitioning to a post-tropical storm.
It says Montreal saw rainfall between 70 and 90 millimetres over the course of just a few hours.
But it says that the rainfall is weakening as the storm moves across the St. Lawrence River.
The agency says maximum sustained winds have been 74 kilometres per hour, and the storm has been moving north-northeast at a rate of 50 kilometres per hour towards New Brunswick.
