Heavy Rain Soaking Burlington Through Sunday Morning

Burlington is in the middle of a soggy stretch. A special weather statement is in effect, with locally significant rainfall possible — and Saturday, August 22 through early Sunday, August 23 is the window to watch. Showers and thunderstorms developed over southwestern Ontario on Saturday morning before pushing into the Greater Golden Horseshoe through the afternoon. The concern is slow-moving storm cells and multiple rounds of rain, which could push local totals past 50 mm — and Burlington is already sitting at a forecast of 55.4 mm for Saturday alone. Expect overcast skies, temperatures topping out around 22°C, and an 87% chance of rain. Humidity is sitting in the mid-to-high 80s, so it's that heavy, sticky kind of August wet. Wind is light — under 12 km/h — so there's not much to clear the air out quickly. If you've got outdoor plans for Sunday, August 23, keep an eye on the radar. The worst of it should taper off by early morning, but puddles and soggy ground will likely linger.
