After a weekend of snow pellets and freezing rain, there's now a rainfall warning from Environment Canada, applying to all of Waterloo region and Wellington County.
At times, the rainfall will be heavy, according to the weather authority. It warned to expect 20 to 30 millimetres of rain by the time the system clears to the east after noon today.
"Extra care should be taken during this morning's commute. Standing water may be potentially hazardous on poorly drained roads and highways due to the weekend ice accumulation," suggested Environment Canada.
After noon, there remains a 40 per cent chance of rain, with a high of 3 C and a 60 per cent chance of rain Monday evening.
The water could also cause isolated flooding in low-lying areas — and homeowners are advised to clear as much ice as possible to help with storm flow.
"Clean out those catch basins and drains close to your property from all the ice pellets of the last few days, so that when the rain does come it will be able to get into the drain system," suggested Geoff Coulson, a warning preparedness meteorologist with Environment Canada.
Another two centimetres of snow is in the forecast for Monday night, with a low of –2 C.
