We’re in for a rainy weekend across Chatham-Kent.

A special weather statement has been issued by Environment Canada, calling for significant rainfall on mostly frozen ground that has reduced ability to absorb extra moisture.

Officials with the weather agency say the region could see between 20 and 40mm of rain over the next few days, which could be heavy at times. With the risk of thunderstorms, some areas could see more than 40mm.

Localized flooding is possible in low-lying areas as well as pooling on roads.
