A rainfall warning for Sept. 23-24 in Greater Sudbury and area has been issued by Environment Canada.
According to the agency, a weather system developing in Colorado will approach the upper Great Lakes, bringing with it rain and heavy wind.
"The rain will begin this morning in regions bordering the Great Lakes and then spread eastward and northward," warned the bulletin from Environment Canada.
