Rainfall warning in effect for:
Listowel – Milverton – Northern Perth County
Significant rainfall gradually tapering off today.
Rain at times heavy is affecting a good portion of Southern Ontario this morning, along with some residual freezing rain near or north of the Oak Ridges Moraine. Rainfall amounts in the 20 to 30 mm range are likely by the times it tapers off from west to east today.
Extra care should be taken during this morning’s commute. Standing water may be potentially hazardous on poorly drained roads and highways due to the weekend ice accumulation.
Please clear drainage basins of ice buildup in urban centres. This will assist in more effective water flow and may prevent basement flooding.
Localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible. Keep children and pets away from creeks and river banks.
