Environment Canada has issued rainfall warnings and special weather statements for the Kawarthas region on Sunday (December 29).
A rainfall warning is in effect for Peterborough County and Northumberland County, with a special weather statement in effect for Kawartha Lakes and Haliburton County.
Rain will begin Sunday morning and continue throughout the day. Rain may be heavy at times.
Rainfall amounts of 20 to 40 mm are expected in Peterborough County and Northumberland County, with 15 to 25 mm expected in Kawartha Lakes and Haliburton County, before the rain tapers to isolated showers on Sunday night.
As the frozen ground has a reduced ability to absorb the rainfall, there could be localized flooding in low-lying areas and ponding of water on roads.
Environment Canada cautions against approaching washouts near rivers, creeks, and culverts, and advises keeping children and pets away from creeks and river banks.
