Special weather statement in effect for:

• Burlington – Oakville
• Caledon
• Halton Hills – Milton
• Mississauga – Brampton

Significant rain on tap to start the Easter Weekend.

Total rainfall amounts of 25 to 50 millimetres are likely by Saturday as a series of low pressure systems from the Southern Plains states affect Southern Ontario.

Although the ground is generally no longer frozen, it will still have a limited ability to absorb this rainfall. As a result, some ponding of water is possible in low-lying areas.

The rainfall warning criterion of 50 millimetres of rain within 24 hours is not expected to be reached in general.

At this point it looks like the rain will end in time for the Easter Bunny’s journey on Easter Sunday morning.

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