Windsor-Essex, Chatham-Kent and Sarnia can all expect between 20 and 40 millimetres of rainfall this weekend. 

Environment and Climate Change Canada has issued a special weather statement calling for heavy rainfall Saturday evening through Sunday night, along with a risk of thunderstorms.

Local rainfall could exceed 40 mm in some areas, the weather office said.

Localized flooding is possible in low-lying areas and water may pool on roads.

Frozen ground has a reduced ability to absorb the water, the agency said.
