It will be a soggy, wet Easter weekend in Niagara with a special weather statement warning us of lots of rain on the way.
Environment Canada says total rainfall amounts of 25 to 50 millimetres are likely Good Friday and Saturday as a series of low pressure systems moves into the region.
Although the ground is generally no longer frozen, it will still have a limited ability to absorb this rainfall and as a result, some ponding of water is possible in low-lying areas.
At this point it looks like the rain will end in time for the Easter Bunny's journey on Sunday morning.
The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority has issued a flood outlook.
Officials says larger watercourses like the Welland River from Hamilton to Welland and 20 Mile Creek from Hamilton into Vineland are still elevated due to runoff from recent rain events and flooding could occur.
While they don't anticipate major flooding, localized flooding of areas that are typically flood prone is expected through the weekend.
They are asking people to keep their kids, and pets away from bodies of water.
