Environment Canada has issued a Special Weather Statement for Simcoe, Delhi, and Norfolk County, warning of significant rainfall expected this weekend that may lead to localized flooding.
What to Expect:
- Rainfall amounts of 20 to 40 mm, with locally higher amounts possible.
- Timing: From Saturday evening through Sunday night.
- Risk of thunderstorms, which could push rainfall totals beyond 40 mm in some areas.
Ground Conditions a Concern
Officials are urging caution as the frozen ground has a reduced ability to absorb rain, increasing the risk of water pooling on roads, localized flooding in low-lying areas, and hazardous driving conditions.
Stay Safe and Informed
Residents are advised to monitor local forecasts, secure outdoor property, and check sump pumps ahead of the rain. Drivers should watch for water accumulation on roadways and adjust travel plans if necessary.
