WEATHER ALERT
ENVIRONMENT CANADA
**************************
Rainfall warning in effect for:
• Barrie - Collingwood - Hillsdale
• Midland - Coldwater - Orr Lake
• Orillia - Lagoon City - Washago
Rain, heavy at times is expected. The frozen ground has a reduced ability to absorb this rainfall.
Significant rainfall on the way beginning this evening.
A warm front associated with a low pressure area will move through the region tonight, bringing a significant amount of rain with it.
Latest indications suggest close to 25 mm of rain may fall by Tuesday morning, meeting Environment Canada's criterion for rainfall warning when the ground is frozen.
Rain is expected to continue on Tuesday and Tuesday night as the warm front stalls just to the north of the region.
Localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible. If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for tail lights ahead and be prepared to stop.
Rainfall warnings are issued when significant rainfall is expected.
Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to [email protected] or tweet reports using #ONStorm.
