Get ready for a wet start to your Easter weekend.

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for Chatham-Kent warning of heavy rain.

The total rainfall amounts could reach 25-50 mm by Saturday.

The ground is not still frozen, but has a limited ability to absorb the rainfall, so there is a chance of ponding.

On the bright side it appears the rain will end in time for the Easter Bunny to arrive on Sunday morning.
