During a virtual news conference on Thursday afternoon, Jennifer Smith, Environment and Climate Change Canada’s national warning preparedness meteorologist, said heavy downpours could cause localized flooding in urban environments. “So the two are essentially feeding off of each other in the sense that we are supplying an existing system with a lot of moisture. And this is going to give the atmosphere the potential to develop that into showers and thunderstorms and heavy rain for us.”“There could be localized flooding just due to urban environments not having efficient drainage for rainfall in a short period of time,” she said.
