Environment Canada is forecasting a soggy long weekend for most of the Greater Toronto Area.
Ahead of significant rainfall on Friday and Saturday, the national weather agency issued a special weather statement on Thursday for Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Halton Hills, Milton, Burlington, Oakville, Pickering, Oshawa, southern Durham Region, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, and Markham.
“Total rainfall amounts of 25 to 50 millimetres are likely Good Friday and Saturday as a series of low pressure systems from the southern plains states affect southern Ontario,” Environment Canada’s weather advisory read. “Although the ground is generally no longer frozen, it will still have a limited ability to absorb this rainfall. As a result, some ponding of water is possible in low-lying areas. The rainfall warning criterion of 50 millimetres of rain within 24 hours is not expected to be reached in general.”Toronto could see the rain return on Monday and Tuesday but sunshine is in the forecast on Wednesday.
