Toronto is in for some wet weather Friday with as much as 30 millimetres of rain expected to fall in the city today.
CP24's weather radar shows a system that is expected to bring heavy rainfall to the Toronto area on Friday morning.
In a virtual news conference on Thursday, the national weather agency said an existing weather system is expected to collide with the remnants of tropical storm Debby, causing a “significant rain event” in some areas. Jennifer Smith, Environment and Climate Change Canada’s national warning preparedness meteorologist, said heavy downpours could cause localized flooding in urban environments. She said there could be “significant impacts” in large urban centres, such as Ottawa, Montreal, and potentially even Toronto.
“We have already seen a lot of precipitation in Eastern Canada this past summer so everything that could absorb more water is already saturated. So over land flooding and what not is likely as a result.”
