It's going to rain. A lot. 

KawarthaNow reported, "As a result of forecast rainfall of 50 to 70 mm forecast over the next seven days (Friday April 12th to Friday April 19th), and in particular the 25 to 40 mm forecast for Sunday, April 14th, significant pooling and ponding in low-lying areas is expected."
