Rain, at times heavy, is expected. The ground, already near saturation, has little ability to absorb further rainfall. What: Rainfall amounts of 20 to 30 mm. When: Continuing through this afternoon. Additional information: A cold front will continue to move through the region today, bringing showers and the risk of a thunderstorm. Portions of the region have received significant rainfall amounts over the last few days. As a result, further rainfall could have significant impacts. Localized flooding is likely. Some roads may become impassable. ### For information concerning flooding, please consult your local Conservation Authority or Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources office. Visit https://www.ontario.ca/page/floods for the latest details. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ONstorm@ec.gc.ca or post reports on X using #ONStorm.

Don't drive through flooded roadways. Avoid low-lying areas. Watch for washouts near rivers, creeks and culverts.
