Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for most of the Kawarthas region for possible heavy rainfall on Tuesday (June 27).
The special weather statement is in effect for Peterborough County, Kawartha Lakes, Haliburton County, and Hastings Highlands.
Slow-moving showers or thunderstorms are expected Tuesday across the region and some areas may receive significant rainfall amounts, with 30 to 50 mm possible.
Heavy downpours can cause flash floods and water pooling on roads.
If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for tail lights ahead and be prepared to stop. Localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible.
Heavy rainfall in combination with other weather factors, such as hail, wind, and lightning, will make outdoor activities unsafe.
