A slew of regions in Central and Eastern Canada are bracing for a series of storms that will bring flash flooding and freezing rain to parts.
Environment Canada said Tuesday that the systems will impact large parts of southern Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.
Toronto, one of the regions covered under the federal agency’s weather statement, may get 20 to 40 millimetres of rain through Wednesday. The system will move into the area Tuesday night.
“A series of low pressure systems will lead to significant rainfall across parts of southern Ontario. Heavy downpours may cause flash floods and water pooling on roads. Localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible,” Environment Canada said.
“Rainfall warnings may be issued for some areas as the event draws nearer.”
Meanwhile, Quebec is bracing for a “potentially critical freezing rain event” beginning Wednesday.
Environment Canada said 20 to 30 millimetres may fall by Thursday in Montreal, Montérégie, Outaouais, Lanaudière, Laurentians, Parc du Mont-Tremblant, Mauricie, Drummondville and Quebec City.
“Conditions will remain cold in subsequent days, which may complicate and delay the full return to normal services. There will likely be transportation delays and cancellations,” Environment Canada said.
