Wet Thanksgiving Sunday for parts of Canada from Isaias remnants
After Hurricane Isaias made landfall on Friday, the-now, post-tropical system will continue heading north, with its remnants reaching Ontario and Quebec on Sunday, but it won't be a washout
After the storm formerly known as Hurricane Isaias made landfall in Florida on Friday, some of what's left of the now post-tropical cyclone will push north into Ontario and Quebec on Sunday, making for a bit of a wet Thanksgiving.
Not everyone will see rain, and the day won't be a washout, but some localized areas in Central Canada could see 10-20 mm of rainfall and even some rumbles of thunder sprinkled through the day.

Isaias landfalls as Category 2 hurricane
Hurricane Isaias made landfall on the Florida Panhandle on Friday evening with damaging winds, flooding rains, and isolated tornadoes.
The eye of the hurricane pushed ashore near Destin, Fla., around 9:30 p.m. EDT on Friday with maximum, sustained winds of 165 km/h, making it a Category 2 storm. A wind gust of 187 km/h was reported at Santa Rosa Sound, Fla., as the eyewall moved through the region.
The remnant low of what was once Isaias will continue to move up west of the Appalachians.
Remnants to reach parts of Ontario, Quebec
A lack of high-pressure weather systems in the region could allow Isaias’ remnants to track towards the Great Lakes by early Sunday.
Moisture first moves across Lake Erie throughout Sunday morning, where some rumbles of thunder are even possible.

Throughout the afternoon, the shower threat increases for Niagara and portions of the GTA as moisture continues to stream in from the south
Parts of southern Ontario might experience rain bands through Sunday. The Ottawa region and Quebec's Eastern Townships will remain dry. However, a front to the north will act as a block to the stormy system and prevent any tropical moisture from heading farther north.
Parts of southern Ontario are expected to stay in the dry section through Sunday, but folks in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) could see 5 mm of rain or less. So, it won't be a washout by any means. Locally higher amounts could reach 10-20 mm for the Lake Erie shoreline.
By Sunday evening, the moisture has largely left southern Ontario and will have moved towards New England.
