A system bringing significant rain is expected to arrive Thursday.
Environment Canada issued a special weather statement Wednesday afternoon.
Light showers are to begin Thursday, giving way to rain, heavy at times Thursday afternoon.
Fifteen to 30 mm of rain is possible before the precipitation changes to snow by Friday morning.
Snow and blowing snow are in the forecast for Friday.
Special weather statement in effect for:
- Belleville – Quinte West – Eastern Northumberland County
- Cobourg – Colborne – Western Northumberland County
Significant rainfall expected Thursday night.
Hazard:
Rain heavy at times with amounts of 15 to 30 mm.
Localized ponding in poorly drained areas.
Timing:
Rain heavy at times beginning late Thursday afternoon then changing snow by Friday morning.
Discussion:
Light showers and drizzle will give way to rain, heavy at times, late Thursday afternoon and then change to snow by Friday morning. Note that the partially frozen ground may have a reduced ability to absorb this rainfall. A few centimetres of snow can be expected by Friday evening.
Considerable uncertainty remains regarding the track of the Colorado low responsible for this rainfall. Should the track of this low change, rainfall amounts could also change.
