Environment Canada has issued another special weather statement today, as rain, wind and mild conditions are forecast tonight and Monday.
Environment Canada officials said a rapidly intensifying disturbance brewing in Kansas is setting its sights on Ontario. It will track towards Lake Michigan tonight and cross Northeastern Ontario on Monday.
“Rain, at times heavy, will arrive this evening in Southwestern Ontario and quickly spread to all other regions overnight,” Environment Canada officials stated. “Rainfall amounts of 15 to locally 30 mm are expected before it tapers to showers on Monday.”
Environment Canada officials added: “As the storm crosses the province on Monday, strong winds will strengthen to 50 gusting to 70 or 80 km/h out of the southwest. Localized gusts to 90 km/h are likely in some areas. Winds of this magnitude may bring down some limbs or the odd tree, and cause sporadic power outages. Wind warnings may be required.”
The public is advised to monitor future forecasts and warnings as warnings may be required or extended.
