Drenching thunderstorms will be a concern again today across New England and from Michigan to the Central Plains States as a cold front slices into the sizzling air mass over the East.

The daytime heating also sparked outbreaks of severe weather in eastern Canada and New England. A powerful thunderstorm in Quebec last evening left one man dead and 400 thousand Hydro Quebec customers without power. Canada Press reports a motorist was killed by a falling tree branch as the storm ripped through Montreal. Winds gusted to close to 100 km/h (60 mph). The storms also tore through New England, downing trees in New Hampshire and Maine.
