Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for the Kawarthas region for locally heavy rain on Wednesday (June 10).
The special weather statement is in effect for Peterborough County, Haliburton County, Hastings Highlands, and eastern Northumberland County.
A moisture-laden and slow-moving low pressure system will bring locally heavy rain showers and the risk for isolated thunderstorms.
The high moisture associated with this low will lead to the potential for locally heavy rainfall, with up to 50 mm of rain possible in some locations by the evening.
Water will likely pool on roads and in low-lying areas. Don’t drive through flooded roadways. Avoid low-lying areas.
For information concerning flooding, consult your local conservation authority or the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. For the latest details on flood conditions, visit www.ontario.ca/floods.
