Warnings

4:40 AM EST Monday 19 February 2018
Rainfall warning in effect for:

• Mount Forest - Arthur - Northern Wellington County

Rain, heavy at times is expected. The frozen ground has a reduced ability to absorb this rainfall.

Significant rainfall on the way beginning this evening.

A warm front associated with a low pressure area will move through the region tonight, bringing a significant amount of rain with it.

Latest indication suggest close to 25 mm of rain may fall by Tuesday morning, meeting Environment Canada's criterion for rainfall warning when the ground is frozen.

Rain is expected to continue on Tuesday and Tuesday night as the warm front stalls just to the north of the region.

Localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible. If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for tail lights ahead and be prepared to stop.

Rainfall warnings are issued when significant rainfall is expected.

Statements

10:51 AM EST Monday 19 February 2018
Special weather statement in effect for:

• Guelph - Erin - Southern Wellington County
• Kitchener - Cambridge - Region of Waterloo

Significant rainfall on the way beginning later today.

A warm front associated with a low pressure area will move through the region tonight, bringing a significant amount of rain with it.

Latest indication suggest 10 to 20 mm of rain may fall by Tuesday morning. This is below Environment Canada's criterion for rainfall warning when the ground is frozen.

However, this rainfall along with rapidly melting snow due to very mild temperatures may be enough to result in ponding of water in poorly drained areas.

Occasional rain along with record-breaking temperatures more typical of April is expected on Tuesday.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to [email protected] or tweet reports using #ONStorm.
