Yellow Warning – Rainfall Issued for Brockville, Leeds-Grenville For Tonight Into Saturday

Brockville – Environment Canada has issued a Yellow Warning – Rainfall for Brockville, Leeds-Grenville, Smiths Falls, and Kingston.

Rainfall, combined with melting snow, is expected. The frozen ground has a reduced ability to absorb this rainfall. Rainfall amounts of 15 to 40 mm with locally higher amounts possible due to thunderstorms. Substantial snow melt contributing to ponding on roads and low lying areas.

Beginning late this afternoon or early this evening and ending Saturday evening.

Several rounds of showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected with the first expected to move into Ontario this evening. The rain combined with mild temperatures will likely melt much of the significant snowpack and lead to additional runoff.

For information concerning flooding, please consult your local Conservation Authority or Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources office. Visit Ontario.ca/floods for the latest details

Water will likely pool on roads and in low-lying areas.

Don’t drive through flooded roadways. Watch for washouts near rivers, creeks and culverts.
