Environment Canada has issued a rainfall warning for Ottawa, and says to expect “multiple thunderstorms” over the first weekend of summer.
The warning, issued Saturday at 5:24 a.m., says a low pressure system will bring “significant” rainfall to the region, potentially in excess of 60 millimetres. The downpours can lead to localized flooding, flooded roads and possible washouts near creeks and culverts, Environment Canada says.
