Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for most of the Kawarthas region for heavy rain overnight Sunday (June 11) into early Tuesday morning.
The special weather statement is in effect for Peterborough County, the City of Kawartha Lakes, Haliburton County, and Hastings Highlands.
A wet start to the week is expected as a low-pressure system pushes into the Great Lakes basin Sunday night. Rain from this low will continue to push in across the region overnight, continuing through Monday, and then tapering off by early Tuesday morning.
The heaviest rainfall is expected Monday afternoon.
Rainfall amounts across the region are expected to be near 30 to 50 millimetres with locally higher amounts possible by the time rain clears out early Tuesday morning.
There still remains some uncertainty with rainfall amounts and the exact track of the low. Environment Canada may issue rainfall warnings.
