==DISCUSSION==
RAIN, HEAVY AT TIMES, IS EXPECTED TONIGHT. THE GROUND, ALREADY NEAR
SATURATION, HAS LITTLE ABILITY TO ABSORB FURTHER RAINFALL.
WHAT:
TOTAL LOCAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS 20 TO 40 MM.
WHEN:
BEGINNING TONIGHT AND ENDING WEDNESDAY MORNING.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
ANOTHER WAVE OF HEAVY RAIN IS EXPECTED TO PUSH INTO SOUTHERN ONTARIO
TONIGHT. THERE REMAINS SOME UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE TOTAL
POTENTIAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS. THIS NEXT ROUND OF RAIN IS ASSOCIATED
WITH A COMPACT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM PUSHING INTO SOUTHWESTERN
ONTARIO. A SLIGHT DEVIATION IN THE TRACK OF THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
WILL SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT WHERE THE HEAVIEST RAIN SETS UP.
GIVEN THE ALREADY SATURATED GROUND, RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 20 TO 25
MILLIMETRES COULD HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS.
RAINFALL WARNINGS MAY BE REQUIRED FOR SOME LOCATIONS TONIGHT.
WATER WILL LIKELY POOL ON ROADS AND IN LOW-LYING AREAS. DON'T DRIVE
THROUGH FLOODED ROADWAYS. AVOID LOW-LYING AREAS. WATCH FOR WASHOUTS
NEAR RIVERS, CREEKS AND CULVERTS.
