WEATHER ALERT
ENVIRONMENT CANADA
*************************
Special weather statement in effect for:
- Pickering - Oshawa - Southern Durham Region
- Vaughan - Richmond Hill - Markham
Rainfall, combined with melting snow, is expected. The frozen ground has a reduced ability to absorb this rainfall.
Rain, heavy at times, will begin this evening. Total rainfall amounts of 20 to 35 mm are expected before changing to snow Saturday morning or afternoon.
Be sure to clear storm drains from snow and ice to allow for proper drainage.
Heavy downpours can cause flash floods and water pooling on roads. If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for tail lights ahead and be prepared to stop. Localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible.
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.
