Significant rain is expected to begin Monday evening and continue into Wednesday morning.

Environment Canada has issued a rainfall warning for the entire Ottawa region, calling for 25 to 40 mm of rain by Wednesday morning. Periods of rain will continue through Tuesday and into Wednesday. 

Temperatures more typical of April are also expected on Tuesday, reaching a high of 5 degrees. The temperature will then rise throughout the evening, reaching 11 degrees. The melting snow due to the warmer weather and the heavy rainfall could result in localized flooding in low-lying areas.

Fog could also create reduced visibility on Tuesday morning.
