Environment Canada issued a special weather statement Thursday afternoon for the following areas:

  • Bayfield Inlet - Dunchurch
  • Bracebridge - Gravenhurst
  • Deep River - Whitney - Eastern Algonquin Park
  • Huntsville - Baysville
  • Port Carling - Port Severn
  • South River - Burk's Falls
  • Town of Parry Sound - Rosseau - Killbear Park
  • Western Algonquin Park - Lake of Two Rivers

Heavy rain showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected to develop Thursday evening and into Friday.

The rain should taper off by Friday afternoon with a total amount of 20 to 40 mm anticipated, but some areas could see 60 mm or more.

This precipitation is the result of a moisture laden low pressure system that will track over Central Ontario Friday morning.

Heavy downpours can result in flash floods and water pooling on roads.

Keep children and pets away from creeks and river banks.
