Environment Canada warns of heavy rain across region on Sunday
It’s going to be a very rainy Sunday in much of Ontario today.
Environment Canada has issued weather alerts for southern and central Ontario that include special weather statements advising of significant rainfall, or in some areas rainfall warnings that warn of heavy downpours and thunderstorms.
The advisory for areas under a special weather statement can change to a rainfall warning as storms move through.
Following are two weather advisories issued this morning:
Kitchener – Cambridge – Region of Waterloo
Guelph – Erin – Southern Wellington County
Halton Hills – Milton
Newmarket – Georgina – Northern York Region
Innisfil – New Tecumseth – Angus
Rain, at times heavy, is expected. The ground, already near saturation, has little ability to absorb further rainfall.
Additional rainfall amounts of 20 to 40 mm. Rainfall rates of up to 40 mm in an hour.
