Heavy rainfall expected to hit Brockville and Prescott overnight

Stay informed and take precautions, especially in flood-prone areas, as conditions rapidly change

Brockville and Prescott are bracing for significant rainfall tonight through Friday morning, with total amounts reaching 20 to 30 mm. The combined rainfall and melting snow could overwhelm the frozen ground, making it harder for water to be absorbed. As a result, water is expected to pool on roads and in low-lying areas.

The rain will begin tonight, turning to flurries Friday morning as temperatures quickly drop below freezing. Residents are urged to stay alert for flooding risks and monitor local forecasts and Environment Canada warnings.

For up-to-date information on flooding, visit Ontario.ca/floods or consult the local Conservation Authority or Ministry of Natural Resources. The public is encouraged to report severe weather via email at ONstorm@ec.gc.ca
 or on X using #ONStorm.

Stay informed and take precautions, especially in flood-prone areas, as conditions rapidly change.
