Canadians are bracing for a day of severe weather as
heavy rainfall
and thunderstorm warnings sweep across multiple provinces. Widespread alerts and warnings of the potential for flash flooding, hazardous travel conditions, and localized power outages, particularly in Ontario and Quebec have been stated.
In
southeastern Ontario

Toronto authorities have already reported water pooling on major roadways, resulting in lane restrictions and significant travel delays.
The
Muskoka Lakes
region remains under a Watershed Conditions Statement – Water Safety Bulletin, as water levels and river flows continue to run higher than normal following significant rainfall earlier this month. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry has urged residents to exercise caution near all water bodies, supervise children and pets, and secure property that could be impacted by rising water.
