Thursday's warm and wet—thunderstorms rolling in this afternoon
Music's on tonight, groceries need checking, and it's gonna feel like late summer before the rain hits.
It's warm out there this morning—20 feels like 27—and you're gonna feel that all day. Clouds are already gathering, though; showers and thunderstorms are coming through this afternoon, so keep an eye on the sky if you're planning anything outdoors. Sun sets at 7:29 tonight, so you've got just over thirteen hours of daylight to work with. The UV's sitting at 6—that's high—so if you're catching any of that warmth before the rain comes, SPF isn't optional.
Fridge check this morning: over forty Quebec grocery items have been recalled since August for listeria, glass, and undeclared allergens. Worth a quick scan of what you've got at home. Same goes for the raw breaded chicken and fish at Viande à bas prix—five locations are affected over missing cooking instructions. Nothing worth getting sick over.
On the news side, there's a lot happening in the province right now. The PQ's leading the Quebec election race with 29 percent, and over in Verdun, three candidates are pitching to voters on housing and homelessness—issues that matter here. There's also the investigation into a man in his 30s found near the Lachine waterfront Wednesday morning.
If you're hungry and looking for a move, Jacopo in Vieux-Montréal is doing tableside fettuccine served inside a hollowed wheel of cheese—that's the kind of thing worth trying on a day like this. MUCHO Burrito's also got 2-for-1 burritos running through August 14 as they hit their 20-year mark, if you want to keep it simpler.
Tonight's got serious range. If you're a Pink Floyd person, Dark Side of the Moon is playing at Le Dome starting at 5:30—that's an experience. There's soul, RnB, and funk happening at Le Balcon X Terrasse at 6:00 if you want something live and loose. And if you're into heavier metal, Iron Maiden's at Parc Jean-Drapeau at 6:15 with Megadeth and Anthrax—that's a lineup. The rain's supposed to come through afternoon into evening, so depending on what you're doing, you might want to grab dinner before heading out, or know you're ducking between spots.
Thursday's looking like a solid night to get out of the apartment, rain or not. See you around.
