has issued a Rainfall Warning. It is in effect from Saturday afternoon thru Sunday evening for the following areas:Total rainfall: 50 to 80 mm, locally higher amounts possible.Similar storms in the past have caused hazardous driving conditions, elevated river levels, and localized flooding, especially in poor drainage areas,
Heavy downpours can cause flash floods and water pooling on roads. Localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible.This same system has produced extremely heavy rainfall in parts of Nova Scotia. Some areas around Halifax have seen over 250 mm of rain since Friday evening, and more is expected before it ends later today. While computer guidance did a good job nailing the location of the heavy rainfall in that area, the amounts predicted were vastly underdone.
Systems like this, in the current atmospheric setup we are in, can often over-produce forecasted values. I’m of the opinion that the forecast amounts for parts of southern and southwest Newfoundland may also be too low, and that significantly higher amounts are possible… if not likely.Stay safe and never drive into flood waters.
