Heavy rain, thunderstorms expected in CK Tuesday

Heavy rainfall and thunderstorms are expected to last in Chatham-Kent for the entirety of the day.

Environment Canada issued a rainfall warning and a severe thunderstorm watch for the area early Tuesday morning.

The weather agency warned that heavy rainfall could see 40-50 mm accumulate, with some areas seeing amounts approaching 75 mm.

"Heavy downpours can cause flash floods and water pooling on roads," a release said, adding that localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible.

Alongside the rain, the area could see hail, wind gusts up to 100 km/h, and the chance of an isolated tornado.
