A severe thunderstorm watch has ended in Niagara, but there is still a chance of more rain and thunderstorms tonight.
Niagara got hit with heavy rain earlier today, and we received several reports of flooding.
Environment Canada saying they are tracking a severe thunderstorm capable of producing very strong wind gusts and heavy rain.
Meantime, the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority putting out a notice saying intense rain may cause some flooding today.
Heavy rain is impacting Niagara early this afternoon and the NPCA says a considerable amount of rain has fallen over a short period of time.
Officials say the event may impact smaller watercourses and spark localized flooding.
However, all major watercourses are well below critical levels.
Information on the Flood Status in the watershed and water levels within the streams can be found on the NPCA’s website by clicking here for flood status and here for stream flow monitoring.
