A severe thunderstorm warning for Niagara and Haldimand County ended around 4:15 p.m. Sunday, Environment Canada said. However, Niagara is still under a flood watch.<\/p>\n

The federal agency had issued a storm warning Sunday afternoon and said much of southwestern Ontario, including the Hamilton and Niagara area, was in for heavy rain.<\/p>\n

Environment Canada issued a special weather statement around 12:30 p.m. June 14, saying local rainfall amounts of 30 to 50 mm were possible through the afternoon into the evening. Around 2:30 p.m., it issued a warning encompassing most of Haldimand County and Niagara, saying its meteorologists are tracking a thunderstorm “capable of producing strong wind gusts and heavy rain.”<\/p>\n

The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority issued a flood watch around 3:30 p.m., saying that while it “does not anticipate major flooding along larger watercourses, nuisance flooding in low-lying areas adjacent to smaller streams and creeks is likely.”<\/p>\n

In Hamilton, Brantford and St. Catharines, the afternoon forecast called for showers and a risk of thunderstorms until about 7 p.m. In Burlington, Environment Canada forecasted the risk of thunderstorms would drop around 6 p.m.<\/p>\n

The special weather statement for heavy rainfall extended from Lake Ontario in the east to Lake Huron in the West. Around 4 p.m., Environment Canada changed it to only apply to an area including Norfolk County and Long Point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Listen to this article Estimated 2 minutes The audio version of this article is generated by AI-based technology.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":738607,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[49,48,295,66],"class_list":["post-738606","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-environment","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-environment","tag-science"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/738606","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=738606"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/738606\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/738607"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=738606"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=738606"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=738606"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
