Warnings
12:38 AM EDT Friday 05 May 2017
Rainfall warning in effect for:
Belleville – Quinte West – Eastern Northumberland County
Cobourg – Colborne – Western Northumberland County
Rain, at times heavy, continues. The ground, already near saturation, has little ability to absorb further rainfall.
50-90 mm of rain expected through Saturday.
Rain will continue today and Saturday as the weather system responsible stalls over the region. The rain is expected to taper to showers Saturday night.
With the ground already saturated, there is the potential for local flooding. For information concerning flooding please consult your local Conservation Authority or Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry District office.
Localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible. If visibility is reduced while driving, turn on your lights and maintain a safe following distance. Avoid driving through water on roads. Even shallow, fast-moving water across a road can sweep a vehicle or a person away.
Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ec.cpio-tempetes-ospc-storms.ec@canada.ca or tweet reports using #ONStorm.
