Southern Ontario bracing for plenty of rain and strong winds.
Significant rainfall is heading for southern Ontario.
An Alberta clipper and Texas low will combine over the Great Lakes and intensify in strength later in day Thursday, bringing along with it mild temperatures, plenty of rain and strong winds.
Environment Canada has issued a rainfall warning saying anywhere from 25-50 mm of rain is expected to fall on most of southern Ontario. The highest amounts are forecasted for the Windsor-Sarnia to Niagara-Hamilton corridor. There is the risk for thunderstorms Thursday afternoon and evening.
The Ottawa Valley are an exception to this forecast; they could see several hours of freezing rain with this system before transitioning over to rain.
The rain is expected to end by Friday morning in southwestern Ontario but behind that are strong winds, gusting from 70 to 80 km/h along with colder temperatures for the afternoon. Any precipitation for late-day Friday will most likely fall in the form of snow which could cause some dangerous driving conditions for the commute home.
People are being reminded to avoid the local waterways with slippery waterbanks, fast flowing water and unstable ice being a major concern with the snow and ice melt.
