More rain
Heavy rain continues in other areas of the northeast where the ground is already near saturation.
Twenty to 30 mm of rain is expected from Sault Ste. Marie east to Markstay-Warren along the Highway 17 corridor and including Manitoulin Island.
This is brought on by another low-pressure system and localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible.
The rain will continue through the afternoon and possibly into the evening.
