On Tuesday, Environment Canada issued a special weather statement that called for heavy rainfall overnight for the southwestern portion of Ontario.
The weather statement ran from Windsor to Mount Forest and includes London, Chatham, Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge and Brantford but has been lifted.
Rainfall was expected on Wednesday evening and to last right through into Thursday morning with accumulations of between 30 millimetres and 50 millimetres.
“Embedded thunderstorms are likely as well with very high rainfall rates possible. At this point, there is uncertainty regarding which areas will get the heaviest rain,” the statement said at around 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon.
The statement noted that there may be rainfall warnings released as things progress.
Environment Canada said local conservation authorities or the Ministry of Natural Resources are the best places for information about flood concerns.
