Special Weather Statement: Locally Heavy Rain is Expected This Afternoon & Evening

Brockville – Environment Canada has issued a Special Weather Statement for Brockville – Prescott, Gananoque, Kemptville – Merrickville-Wolford, Westport – Charleston Lake, Smiths Falls & Morrisburg.

Locally heavy rain is expected, with rainfall amounts near 50 mm possible for this afternoon and evening.

A moisture laden and slow moving low pressure system will bring locally heavy rain showers and the risk for isolated thunderstorms. The high moisture associated with this low will lead to the potential for locally heavy rainfall.

Water will likely pool on roads and in low-lying areas. Don’t drive through flooded roadways. Avoid low-lying areas.

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

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ONstorm@ec.gc.ca or post reports on X using #ONStorm.
