Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has issued a rainfall warning for parts of southwestern Quebec.

The weather agency said in a notice that between 40 and 60 millimetres of rain is expected to fall until Tuesday evening in Vaudreuil, west of Montreal, and the surrounding areas.

“Rain will fall in bands, some of which may be heavy. Total amounts will depend on the location of rainbands and may vary from one area to another,” ECCC says.

The weather notice says heavy downpours can cause flash floods and pooling on roads.
