Potential for flooding with more rain in the forecast

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement, as more wet weather is set to return later in the week.

“Since the ground is already saturated, there may be potential for some local flooding,” Environment Canada officials stated.

Rain will spread back into southern Ontario from the southwest Thursday reaching eastern Ontario by Friday morning.

Total rainfall amounts may approach 50 mm in some locales before the rain tapers to showers on the weekend.

There may be localized flooding in areas where the rain is the heaviest, Environment Canada officials stated.

Environment Canada will monitor this situation and issue further statement and possible alerts as the event draws closer.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada.
