Mother Nature giveth and taketh away.

Montrealers will get some relief from the oppressive heat this weekend but it will be difficult to enjoy the respite because there is rain — and lots of it — forecast through the weekend and into next week.

Environment Canada has issued a special weather advisory as the remnants of Tropical Storm Fay moves into Quebec Saturday morning.

Fay is the first tropical storm to make landfall in the U.S. northeast this year and rain associated with this system is expected to produce rainfall amounts of 20 to 40 millimetres over parts of southern and central Quebec.

Some areas could receive a total of more than 50 millimetres with the additional rainfall amounts produced by thunderstorms that could accompany this system.
