More rain is in the forecast for Ottawa as water levels on the Ottawa River remain high.
A rainfall warning for Ottawa ended around 3 p.m. Environment Canada reported 10.7 mm of rain at the Ottawa Airport on Saturday and 32.1 millimetres on Sunday. The latter is an all-time record for April 30. The Gatineau Airport saw 47 mm of rain over the weekend.

Water levels could rise between 25 and 45 cm from where they were Friday, in areas like Britannia, Cumberland Village, Constance Bay, Rockland, and Hawkesbury, the RVCA says.
