A Rainfall Warning Is In Effect (And It's Going To Be Windy)

/

Environment Canada has issued a rainfall warning for the area, as a lot of the wet stuff is coming our way over the next couple days—the bulk of it on Wednesday.

This from Environment Canada...

The City of Peterborough has issued a release asking residents to clear their sewer catch basins of leaves and debris if it is safe to do so. “With rainfall amounts of 50 millimetres expected, it is important that catch basins are clear to minimize the risk of localized flooding,” says Wayne Jackson, Director of Utility Services. “Due to fallen leaves, autumn is a difficult time of year to experience this much rain.”

And winds will be howling as well...

Strong and gusty southerly winds are forecast to develop early Wednesday over Southwestern Ontario, then on Wednesday afternoon over remaining parts of Southern Ontario. Wind gusts to 70 km/h are likely in most areas. Winds will become southwesterly on Thursday as a cold front arrives and strong gusts to 90 km/h are again possible. These winds may be strong enough to cause some tree damage and local power outages.

The rain and strong winds will be gone by Friday. Thank goodness.
