Thunderstorm risk continues Thursday With heavy rainfall on Wednesday, CTV's Julie Atchison breaks down another round of storms expected on Thursday.

Wednesday’s forecast was dominated by rainfall warnings for much of the region.

As of Wednesday evening, however, Environment Canada ended rainfall warning for London-Middlesex, and Elgin County.

As of 11 p.m., Sarnia-Lambton remained under a rainfall warning.

A severe thunderstorm watch was also issued in Sarnia-Lambton.

‘Significant rainfall’ in the form of showers and thunderstorms was seen throughout Wednesday, with locations in the path of thunderstorms at risk of receiving 50 mm or more of rain by Wednesday night.

The weather authority however cautioned that some of the aforementioned counties have already received substantial rainfall, and therefore local rainfall amounts of between 100 and 150 mm is possible.

Environment Canada warns residents that heavy downpours can cause flash floods and pooling on roads, with localized flooding possible in low-lying areas.
