A special weather statement has been issued for Niagara and Hamilton with lots of rain expected.

Environment Canada says up to 50 mm of rain could fall by tomorrow night.

Officials say the ground, already near saturation, has a limited capacity to absorb this rainfall, and several more rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected.

Rainfall warnings may be issued for some regions.

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

You are advised not to drive through flooded roadways and avoid low-lying areas.
