Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for Kingston, Ontario, warning that 20 to 40 mm of rain is expected through Wednesday, March 11, 2026. This much water could lead to flash floods and pooling on roads because the ground is currently frozen or soaked and cannot absorb the rainfall.
The rain is expected to start tonight and continue through Wednesday. Locally higher amounts of rain are possible if thunderstorms develop in the area, which could make driving difficult and cause water to build up in low-lying spots.
Cataraqui Conservation is the local agency responsible for monitoring water levels and warning the public about flood risks. They suggest that residents check their downspouts and clear snow or debris from local storm drains if it is safe to do so to help water flow away from homes.
Drivers should allow for extra travel time during heavy downpours and be alert for water on the roads. Further updates or rainfall warnings may be issued as the weather system moves through the region.
