Yellow Warning - Rainfall

A prolonged period of heavy rain is expected.

Locations: Fundy and Saint John County.

Total rainfall: 30 to 60 mm, with locally higher amounts possible.

Time span: today and tonight.

Remarks: A slow-moving weather system will support a prolonged period of rainfall. The humid nature of this system could give embedded thunderstorms with rainfall rates in excess of 15 mm per hour. Some of these bands could persist over some areas, leading to locally higher amounts.

Similar storms in the past have caused: - localized flooding, especially in areas with poor drainage - road shoulder erosion and washouts
