Heavy rain threat could soak Brockville with up to 100 mm

Residents are encouraged to monitor the latest forecasts and weather alerts and prepare for changing conditions

Environment Canada says Brockville and the surrounding area could see significant rainfall through tomorrow morning as a slow-moving low-pressure system stalls over the region.

The weather agency says total rainfall amounts of 50 to 100 mm are possible in some locations. Several rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected, with localized downpours that could push rainfall totals above 50 mm and close to 100 mm in isolated areas.

Environment Canada notes rainfall amounts will vary widely because of the scattered nature of thunderstorms. As conditions develop, rainfall warnings could be issued for parts of the region if confidence increases.

Residents are encouraged to monitor the latest forecasts and weather alerts and prepare for changing conditions. Those concerned about flooding are advised to check updates from their local Conservation Authority or the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources.

Environment Canada also asks residents to report severe weather by emailing ONstorm@ec.gc.ca or posting reports on social media using #ONStorm.
