Heavy rain expected to move in

A few areas could get more than 50 millimetres of rain, which is close to a month’s worth of rain in one day.

A visible image of the clouds associated with Patricia-hybrid system were seen in a visible image from NOAA’s GOES-East satellite on October 27, 2015 at 1630 UTC (12:30 p.m. EDT).

Environment Canada says this storm system will begin to taper off late Wednesday night. The heaviest rainfall is expected along Lake Ontario.

As of 4:45 p.m. Wednesday, the only warning that remained in place around the London area was a wind warning covering St. Thomas, Aylmer, and Eastern Elgin County. Hashtags including #ONstorm have been created for monitoring the storm on Twitter.

Drenching storms that the remnants of Hurricane Patricia dragged into Texas finally cleared Sunday without leaving behind the death or devastation of torrential rain and floods that hit the state earlier in the year. “RapidScat showed that the strongest sustained winds were near 36 meters per second/70 knots/80.5 mph/129.6 kph north and west of the center, which RapidScat showed over the western Gulf of Mexico”. Wind gusts to 70 km/h are likely, with even stronger winds possible near the eastern ends of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, where wind gusts may approach the warning criterion of 90 km/h. Winds will become southwesterly on Thursday with strong gusts possible.

The precipitation will move through the Northeast on Wednesday through midday on Thursday and urban flooding is possible along the I-95 corridor, it said. It will be partly sunny with a chance of rain or snow on Friday and mostly sunny on Saturday, Halloween.
