by Environment Canada has issued another special weather statement, but this time, the alert involves rain and the potential for flooding. The weather office says that a strong low pressure system will track eastward along the St Lawrence River Valley on Tuesday. Heavy rain and strong southerly winds of up to 90 km/h are expected to develop ahead of the system on Tuesday and linger into Wednesday. Current indications suggest that total rainfall amounts will approach 50 millimetres, and that’ll be combined with warm temperatures giving significant snow melt. We’ll be monitoring the outlook for Tuesday as it develops.
