Mother Nature is set to rain on Hamilton's parade today.
And tomorrow may be even worse.
The Weather Network is predicting 1-3mm of rain Wednesday morning, followed by another 5-10mm in the afternoon.
During the evening, another smattering of 1-3mm could fall before it stops briefly.
Thursday, Environment Canada is saying isolated, non-severe thunderstorms are possible over southwestern Ontario.
That could include wind gusts of 90 km/h or more, rain of more than 50 mm in one hour, or less than 75 mm in three hours, and hail that is 2 cm in diameter or more. Environment Canada also cautions about the possibility of tornadoes.
No specific weather warnings have been issued for the Hamilton area.
the city is already exhausted from dealing with the massive flooding caused by last weekend’s storms, especially Sunday’s massive downpour.
More than 110 mm of rain fell in Stoney Creek. East-end residents were particularly hard hit by flooding, with many dealing with sewage back ups in their basement.
Going into the August long weekend, we’ll have to contend with an 80 per cent chance of rain on Friday.
It’s expected Saturday will be sunny, but on Sunday the rain may hit again, with a 40 per cent chance of rain and a chance of thunderstorms. Monday is so far a mixed bag.
The Environment Canada record for most precipitation on this day is 49mm, which fell in 1983.
