Heavy Rain Expected Over Kingston This Weekend

Rain Alert for Kingston Area

The weather office has issued a rain alert for the Kingston area and nearby communities.

• Timing: From Saturday afternoon onward
• Precipitation: 30–50 mm expected

The storm will hit the Kingston‑Odessa‑Frontenac Islands region, with the wettest hours likely in the evening and overnight. Recent showers have left the soil saturated, so new rain may not soak in quickly—puddles and slick roads are a real risk.

Key Points

• Driver: Low‑pressure system from Colorado
• Intensity: Steady rain; some spots may see heavier amounts if thunderstorms develop
• Safety Tips:
• Drivers: stay alert for reduced visibility when rain intensifies
• Pedestrians: avoid walking in low‑lying spots where water can collect
• Flood Risk: Potential flooding of nearby rivers, creeks, and culverts; possible washouts

Residents are urged to keep away from low‑lying areas during the heaviest rain and stay informed about any updates from local authorities.
