Eastern Canada Braces for Heavy Rain as Tropical Storm Debby Approaches
Remnants of tropical storm Debby merging with another low pressure system over the Great Lakes could bring up to 100 millimeters of rain to parts of Eastern Canada on Friday.
The system is passing through Southern Ontario and Quebec today, which has prompted Environment Canada to issue alerts and warnings for communities between Cornwall, Ont., through Quebec City about the risk of flash flooding.
The agency has also warned that minor landslides are a possibility.
Ottawa is forecast to be particularly hard hit by this storm system, with 50 to 75 millimeters of rainfall expected throughout Friday.
In Toronto, about 30 millimeters of rain is expected to fall through the morning and early afternoon.
The remnants of Debby are expected to reach New Brunswick Friday night and dump up to 40 millimeters of rain through Saturday morning.
