Rainfall warning issued for tonight in southern Kawartha Lakes

KAWARTHA LAKES-Environment Canada is warning of significant rainfall tonight in Lindsay and Southern Kawartha Lakes.

Following what is predicted to be significant freezing rain throughout the day, a round of heavy rainfall is expected Sunday night. The rain may fall heavily at times with amounts likely in the 20 to 25 mm range. Some additional rainfall is likely into Monday, albeit lighter. Total rainfall amounts for Sunday night into Monday may be in the 25 to 35 mm range.

Officials are advising residents to clear drainage basins of ice buildup in more urban areas. This will assist in more effective water flow and may prevent basement flooding.

Localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible. Keep children and pets away from creeks and river banks.
