Special Weather Statement
Rain, heavy at times, is expected tonight. The ground, already near saturation, has little ability to absorb further rainfall.
What:
Total local rainfall amounts 20 to 40 mm.
When:
Beginning tonight and ending Wednesday morning.
Additional information:
Another wave of heavy rain is expected to push into southern Ontario tonight. There remains some uncertainty regarding the total potential rainfall amounts. This next round of rain is associated with a compact low pressure system pushing into southwestern Ontario. A slight deviation in the track of this low pressure system will significantly impact where the heaviest rain sets up.
Given the already saturated ground, rainfall amounts of 20 to 25 millimetres could have significant impacts.
Water will likely pool on roads and in low-lying areas. Don't drive
through flooded roadways. Avoid low-lying areas. Watch for washouts
near rivers, creeks and culverts.
For information concerning flooding, please consult your local
Conservation Authority or Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources
office. Visit https://www.ontario.ca/page/floods for the latest
