For Easter Monday, rain heavy at times mixed with snow ending late in the afternoon, 15 to 25 mm of rainfall, winds gusting to 60 km/h late in the morning, the high 6 but falling to 2 in the afternoon.

Here are the details of the rainfall warning in effect for:

Rain, heavy at times, will begin this evening and end Monday afternoon.
