Remnants of tropical storm Debby merging with another low-pressure system over the Great Lakes could bring up to 100 millimetres of rain to parts of Eastern Canada on Friday.
The system is passing through Southern Ontario and Quebec today, which has prompted Environment Canada to issue alerts and warnings for communities between Cornwall, Ont., through Quebec City about the risk of flash flooding.
The agency has also warned that minor landslides are a possibility.
