Rain falling on ground
A Special Weather Statement is in effect for the 88.1 myFM listening area, with heavy rain and strong winds expected today.
Total rainfall amounts of 10 to 20 mm are possible, starting this morning or afternoon and lasting into the evening. The frozen ground may struggle to absorb the rainfall, increasing the risk of localized flooding.
Showers and possible thunderstorms could bring gusty southwest winds reaching up to 70 km/h ahead of a cold front this afternoon. Low-lying areas may see water pooling, and roads could become hazardous.
Residents are urged to stay alert and monitor conditions. For updates on flooding risks, visit Ontario.ca/floods or contact your local Conservation Authority or Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources office.
Drivers should exercise caution on wet roads, and homeowners are encouraged to check drainage areas to prevent flooding.
