Parts Of Ontario Are Getting Absolutely Hammered With Rain & It's Not Over Yet (PHOTOS)
It's a wet one out there!
With a slew of Ontario storms hitting the province this week, some areas are already getting quite the dumping of rain.
As of Wednesday evening, Environment Canada had issued a total of 30 rainfall warnings across the province.
The Weather Network (TWN) has forecasted that some areas may be on the hook for over 100 mm of rainfall over the next few days, increasing the risk for flash and localized flooding in certain spots.
Here's a look at some of the wet weather Ontarians have been experiencing so far.
Over towards Sarnia, some strong wind gusts earlier in the day appeared to signal the storm approaching.

If you are planning to head out on the roads over the next few days, Environment Canada warns that "if visibility is reduced while driving, turn on your lights and maintain a safe following distance. Localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible."

It's The First Day Of Fall & Of Course, There's Already A Snowfall Warning In Canada
It's the first of the season! 🍂❄️
It's the first day of fall in Canada but some parts of the country apparently missed the memo and have skipped ahead to winter!
Environment Canada has issued a snowfall warning on September 22 for areas along the Dempster Highway in Yukon and 10 to 15 centimetres of snow with local accumulations of 20 centimetres is expected. According to The Weather Network, this is the first snowfall warning of the season.
Today marks the official start to fall, and in true Canadian fashion, the first snowfall warning of the season has been issued. #YTStorm— The Weather Network (@The Weather Network) 1632319200.0
Strong winds of 60 km/h gusting to 80 km/h combined with falling snow are forecast to reduce visibility to as little as 1 kilometre.
The storm system will bring heavy snow across the Dempster Highway with the highest accumulation around the Ogilvie Mountains, near Dawson City.
Environment Canada is warning people to prepare for "quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions" because visibility could be reduced suddenly.
The Weather Network's fall forecast for Canada is calling for an early start to winter for a few provinces and the Farmers' Almanac's month-by-month forecast shows that nobody will escape the snow this season. Guess Yukon is getting a head start on that!

Environment Canada issued 16 special weather statements for significant rainfall and 11 rainfall warnings this morning across the province.

Areas with rainfall warnings can expect 50 to 60 millimetres in rainfall by Thursday morning "with locally higher amounts in excess of 75 mm in areas that receive multiple thunderstorms."
