Ontario Braces for Freezing Rain, Snow Expected in B.C. and Quebec

Environment Canada forecasts 20–40 mm of rain with potential flash flooding, water pooling, and freezing rain risks due to low-pressure systems and warm-cold air clashes.

  • On Monday, Environment Canada warned of significant rainfall for most of southern Ontario and issued a special weather statement for Windsor, Chatham, Sarnia and other areas.
  • Meteorologists point to interacting fronts and a series of low-pressure systems, with the Bruce Peninsula and central Ontario facing prolonged freezing rain.
  • Local authorities cautioned that ponding and rising waterways could occur as the Essex Region Conservation Authority issued a watershed conditions statement warning rainfall may flood rural roads.
  • Authorities cautioned that river flows remain elevated as the Grand River conservation authority said flows stay extremely high, and flood warnings cover Cambridge, Brantford, and Six Nations without triggering a flood watch.
  • Because recent melt has already raised runoff, Environment Canada said 'The saturated or frozen ground will have little ability to absorb this rainfall,' with temperatures plunging to 1 C Thursday and Friday.
