Significant rainfall is expected.

Locations: most of Cape Breton Island.

Potential rainfall: 30 to 50 mm, possibly more in heaviest showers.

Time span: this evening until early Saturday morning.

Remarks: An approaching low pressure system is expected to bring a period of intense rainfall. There is some uncertainty as to where the highest rainfall amounts will occur, but the potential exists for significant totals over some locations.

Localized ponding/pooling may occur in low-lying areas or locations with poor drainage. Creeks and smaller rivers may rise quickly and overflow their banks.
