The snow banks that have complicated life across Toronto since back-to-back-to-back winter storms last month could soon be on their way out, with mild temperatures and rain in the forecast.
The Toronto skyline sits shrouded in fog as a man runs in the rain on Thursday December 28, 2023. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Frank Gunnhas been issued for Toronto ahead of heavy rainfall and above seasonal temperatures on Wednesday that could melt snow banks and lead to some localized flooding.
“This rainfall, combined with melting snow and the limited ability of the frozen ground to absorb the rain may lead to localized flooding in low lying areas and water pooling on roads,” the special weather statement warns. CP24 Meteorologist Bill Coulter says that while there will only be “light showers” on Tuesday afternoon, it is likely that Toronto will see periods of “heavy rain” on Wednesday along with a daytime high of 7 C.“The models aren’t perfectly aligned on totals. But 15 to 25 millimetres of rain, mostly on Wednesday, is very likely,” Coulter says. “That combined with a temperature rising to 7 C will likely melt a lot of what’s still out there.
