Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for Windsor-Essex and Chatham-Kent due to possible heavy rain.
The forecasters says “significant rainfall” is expected Tuesday into the evening.
Rain will move in from the southwest in the morning as a low pressure system approaches. Total rainfall amounts of 20 to 30 mm are expected by the time the rain tapers to a few showers in the evening.
“Locally higher rainfall amounts of 30 to 40 mm are possible in areas that receive heavy downpours during a thunderstorm,” says the statement.
Heavy downpours can cause water pooling on roads. Motorists should allow extra time to reach their destination.
