A soggy Sunday across southern Ontario<\/a> continues overnight as a moisture-laden system slowly pushes through the region.<\/p>\n

Some areas had already picked up more than 75 mm of rain through Sunday evening, with more on the way. Beware ponding and localized flooding on area roadways.<\/p>\n

Remember, never try to drive across a flooded roadway<\/a>. It\u2019s impossible to tell how deep the water is until it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n

Sunday\u2019s active weather even prompted a tornado warning<\/a> on the Niagara Peninsula, with some reports of damage near Kemptville that may require investigation due to possible rotation in the area.<\/p>\n

Through 6:00 p.m. Sunday, the gauge in Bancroft picked up 77 mm of rain. Folks in Welland saw 62 mm of rain, Hamilton saw 41 mm of accumulation, and Ottawa had received 27 mm.<\/p>\n

\"Ontario<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll see waves of heavy rain continue pushing across southern Ontario from west to east as we move through the overnight hours late Sunday into early Monday.<\/p>\n

Periods of very heavy rainfall will continue into Monday morning for portions of eastern Ontario, including around Ottawa and Kingston.<\/p>\n

\"Ontario<\/p>\n

The National Capital Region is already waterlogged from its rainiest July on record<\/a>, limiting the ground\u2019s ability to absorb additional precipitation. Remain on the lookout for standing water if you\u2019re driving through the region.<\/p>\n

A swath of eastern Ontario may end up with rainfall totals on the order of 75-100+ mm by the time precipitation clears out of the region on Monday.<\/p>\n
