You’d better keep your umbrella handy if out and about in Brighton.
Environment Canada has issued a Rainfall Warning for the region.
The forecast is calling for scattered showers will become heavy at times this morning. Showers are expected to diminish this afternoon before another round of heavy rain, likely with thunderstorms, arrives late this afternoon or this evening.
Total rainfall amounts of 50 to 75 mm are expected, however, higher amounts can not be ruled out.
Officials say heavy downpours can cause flash floods and water pooling on roads. Heavy rainfall in combination with other weather factors, such as hail, wind and lightning will make outdoor activities unsafe.
