A special weather statement is in place for Bruce and Grey counties as showers and thunderstorms are expected this evening.
According to Environment Canada, rainfall amounts could be between 30 and 50 mm through to Wednesday morning.
Forecasters say the excessive rain is due to a low pressure system that is expected to track east across Lake Superior Tuesday.
Meanwhile, a team from the Northern Tornadoes Project, based out of Western University, was expected to be Huron County Monday to look into tree damage in the Port Albert area, north of Goderich.
The group tweeted about the investigation a few hours after a severe thunderstorm rolled through early Monday morning.
No conclusion has been released by the group yet.
According to the NTP, out of the 61 tornadoes confirmed across Canada this year, up until September 1st, 28 have landed in Ontario.
An NTP survey team will be heading to the Port Albert area later today to investigate reports of tree damage from the tornado-warned storm early this morning. Additional reports can be sent to @NTP_Reports or ntp@uwo.ca.
