A significant early April rainfall is on tap, as forecasters have issued a special weather statement in Chatham-Kent and across the region.
Environment Canada officials say a large and moisture laden Texas low is forecast to track towards the Great Lakes, crossing Lake Huron and Georgian Bay into Central Ontario on Tuesday.
Rain from this low will move into Southwestern Ontario later this afternoon then continue through tonight before tapering off to a few showers on Tuesday as the low pressure area moves northeast into Quebec.
Total rainfall amounts of 20 to 30 millimetres are likely with this early spring weather disturbance. Locally higher amounts are possible in areas that receive a thunderstorm mainly tonight.
Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada.
