The first Atlantic storm of the hurricane season may bring wet weather to the region later this week.
Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for all of southwestern Ontario, with the potential of heavy rainfall beginning Tuesday evening and lasting into Thursday.
According to the National Hurricane Center in Miami, the region could deal with the remains of Hurricane Beryl.
"Although confidence in the exact track of the weather system is low, these types of systems in the past have given very high rainfall rates in torrential downpours," read the statement.
The weather agency says some areas could get 50 millimetres of rain, and downpours could bring rain at the rate of 20 to 40 millimetres per hour.
"Rainfall warnings may be issued as confidence in the track of the system increases," added the statement.
Beryl pushed through the Caribbean as a catastrophic Category 5 storm, affecting the Windward Islands and Jamaica and causing seven deaths. Beryl later crossed Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula before it made landfall at Matagorda, Texas as a Category 1.
The city of Houston, Texas, recorded anywhere from 150 to 230 millimetres of rain on Monday, according to ABC News.
