10:52 AM NDT Tuesday 2 July 2024 Rainfall Warning in effect for: Avalon Peninsula Southwest Prolonged, significant rainfall continues. Total rainfall: 65 to 125 mm, with potential for higher amounts locally. Locations: Avalon and Burin Peninsulas. Time span: continuing through Wednesday. Similar events in the past have led to: - localized flooding, especially in locations with poor drainage - elevated water levels in creeks and streams, at times flowing over the banks - water pooling on roads, and erosion of road shoulders Remarks: Repeated pulses of rain, at times heavy, will continue. With the ground already nearly saturated from earlier rainfall, the risk of flooding is heightened in some areas. Heavy downpours can cause flash floods and water pooling on roads. Localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible. Don''t approach washouts near rivers, creeks and culverts. Rainfall warnings are issued when significant rainfall is expected. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to NLstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports using #NLwx .
