A moisture laden low from Texas will continue to bring significant rainfall to Central Ontario today, with 20 to 40 mm of rain expected over most of the area.
Since the ground is frozen, the winter rainfall warning criterion of 25 mm in 24 hours is being met.
The rain is expected to change over to freezing rain this afternoon.
For information concerning flooding, please consult your local conservation authority or Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry district office.
Localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible.
If visibility is reduced while driving, turn on your lights and maintain a safe following distance.
