WEATHER ALERT
ENVIRONMENT CANADA
*************************
Special weather statement in place for:
- Niagara Falls – Welland – Southern Niagara Region
- St. Catharines- Grimsby – Northern Niagara Region
Significant rainfall is possible today.
Hazards:
Localized flooding may occur in low-lying regions if rainfall amounts exceed 15-25 mm
Timing:
From this afternoon to tonight
Discussion:
Rain is expected to fall around noon today and then intensify this evening. Rainfall totals of up to 25mm will be possible before the rain taper off tonight. Partially frozen ground may be less able to absorb the rain, so flooding in low-lying regions will be possible.
For information about flooding, please contact your local Conservation Authority, Ontario Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry. For the most current information, visit Ontario.ca/floods.
