Environment Canada issues significant rainfall warning

Environment Canada and Climate Change has issued a special weather statement for the Muskoka area, including East Parry Sound noting that significant rainfall is possible late Friday through Saturday.

Hazard:
Rain. Total rainfall amounts of 20 to 40 mm with higher amounts possible.

Timing:
Late Friday through Saturday.

Discussion:
A low-pressure system will bring widespread rain across southern Ontario this weekend. Periods of rain will begin over southwestern Ontario late Friday and progress eastward overnight. At this point, there is still uncertainty regarding rainfall amounts. Rainfall warnings may be issued for some regions as the event approaches. The rain is expected to taper to flurries Saturday night as colder air moves into the region.

For information concerning flooding, please consult your local Conservation Authority or Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry office. Visit Ontario.ca/floods for the latest details.
