Affected Areas

The primary geographic region affected by this alert is Maxville - Alexandria in Ontario.

What You Should Do

Residents are advised that water will likely pool on roads and in low-lying areas. For information concerning flooding, residents should consult their local Conservation Authority or the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources office. Latest details can be found at Ontario.ca/floods. Severe weather can be reported via email to [email protected] or on X using the hashtag #ONStorm.

Expected Conditions

Additional rainfall amounts of 20 to 30 mm are expected, with locally higher amounts possible due to thunderstorms. Mild temperatures are contributing to substantial snowmelt. Because the ground remains frozen, its ability to absorb rainfall is reduced, increasing the likelihood of runoff and ponding on roads and in low-lying areas.

Timeline

The warning is effective as of March 8, 2026, and is expected to continue through this evening. Another round of showers and isolated thunderstorms is anticipated this afternoon, with rain expected to taper to light showers by the evening.
