THUNDER BAY – A special weather statement has been issued for the city of Thunder Bay.
According to Environment Canada, rain, at times heavy, is expected to fall on the city most of the day, with the bulk of the rainfall happening on Friday afternoon and evening.
Between 30 millimetres and 50 millimetres is expected, with higher amounts possible in embedded thunderstorms.
The highest rainfall amounts are expected north of Lake Superior between Nipigon and Marathon, including Pays Plat, Terrace Bay and Neys, where rainfall warnings are in effect.
The rain is blamed on a Colorado low moving into the region, which could also bring snow to parts of the region over the weekend.
