Heavy Rain

This entry will be short, as I am on battery backup, our power just went out...again!

Today low pressure from the midwest US will slide across Lake Ontario and down the St. Lawrence Valley. An area of heavy rain and thunderstorms will spread into Ottawa and Montreal this afternoon. Amounts may reach 20-30mm, but may be even higher locally in thunderstorms. This morning, London, ON had 13mm in just 30 minutes. No warnings have been posted, but a special weather statement is highlighting the risk of heavy rain today. Skies will slowly clear on Thursday and it will become hot and humid across the region into the weekend.
