So - Environment Canada has issued a Special Weather Statement for Ottawa (plus a good chunk of Ontario and Quebec)... Significant rainfall from late tonight to early Tuesday morning. Several disturbances with associated significant rainfall are expected to move across Southern Ontario in the next few days. There is still uncertainty over exactly how much rain each disturbance will bring. However, indications at this time suggest the total rainfall amounts from tonight to early Tuesday morning could be very high. Regions north of a line from Southern Lake Huron to the Ottawa and Prescott regions could end up with 50 mm to 75 mm. Rainfall amounts are expected to drop off sharply south of this line. Please consult your local conservation authority or Ontario ministry of natural resources district office for more information on spring flood conditions. In addition, rain is expected to switch to snow Monday night over regions east of Georgian Bay. Algonquin and Burks Falls - Bayfield Inlet regions could end up with 5 to 10 cm of snow by Tuesday morning. Environment Canada meteorologists will continue to monitor the developing systems closely and update this statement when necessary. - David
