Major rainfall event continues until Wednesday morning.

Several rounds of rain will continue today and tonight. Total rainfall amounts from Monday night through Wednesday will be in the 50 to 75 mm range.

This wet, record mild spell is attributed to a series of low pressure systems moving along a warm front draped across the lower Great Lakes. A cold front will arrive Wednesday, bringing an end to the rain.

Rainfall warnings are issued when significant rainfall is expected.
