Thunderstorm risk and heavy rain heading for parts of Ontario this weekend [Video]

Better keep an umbrella close. More rainy weather is in the forecast for parts of Ontario this weekend and into early next week.

Environment Canada says isolated thunderstorms are possible in parts of southwestern Ontario on Sunday, with the risk expanding to southern and far northwestern regions on Monday.

Although Mississauga, Brampton, Halton, Hamilton and Durham weren’t mentioned in the weather warning, those areas could still experience unsettled conditions depending on how the system develops.

Rainfall amounts between 20 and 40 millimetres are possible in some areas north of Lake Ontario.

While widespread severe weather is not expected, residents are advised to monitor local forecasts, especially in areas prone to heavy rain or minor flooding.
