Peterborough, Lakefield and southern parts of the County are the potential affected areas.

Rainfall is expected to begin either late Tuesday night or Wednesday and continue into Thursday.

Torrential downpours are estimated to bring 20 to 40 mm per hour at times while localized rainfall totals possibly well over 50 mm.

Although confidence in the weather system's exact track is low, these systems have produced very high rainfall rates in torrential downpours in the past says Environment Canada.
