Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for Niagara this weekend.

Heavy rainfall is expected for today, with amounts from 10 to 20mm.

The weather agency says the ground is already highly saturated with water, and has a limited capacity to absorb this rainfall.

Water will likely pool on roads and in low-lying areas.

They’re reminding everyone to not drive through flooded roadways, and avoid low-lying areas.
