MONTREAL \u2014 Several rivers across Quebec are under flood watch, with parts of the province receiving as much as 40 millimetres of rain since the start of the week, while the forecast is calling for warm, snow-melting temperatures and more rain in the coming days. <\/p>\n

As of 4 p.m. on Wednesday, the province reported one case of medium flooding near Rawdon, Que., in the Lanaudi\u00e8re region north of Montreal. There were nine cases of minor floods and 19 areas under surveillance. <\/p>\n

The rivers under watch are located across several regions, including in Lanaudi\u00e8re, the Outaouais region in western Quebec, the Laurentians north of Montreal, and the Quebec City area.<\/p>\n

Parts of the Outaouais and Laurentians have already received up to 40 mm of rain since the start of the week, according to Environment Canada meteorologist Julien Pellerin. Those areas, as well as other southern Quebec regions stretching from Gatineau to the Eastern Townships, could be getting between 15 and 25 mm more by Friday morning, he said in a phone interview.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A vehicle drives through water on a street during rainfall in Montreal, Friday, Aug. 9, 2024.
