The GTA is coping with dense fog the day after a brief but intense downpour dumped about 25 millimetres of rain on the city.
“It’s all related to the humidity, the saturation of the air, and the lack of wind,” CityNews weather specialist Frank Ferragine said Wednesday morning.
“We have the risk of seeing some wet weather again this afternoon.”

Environment Canada issued a special weather statement for Toronto and much of southern Ontario – including Halton, Peel, York and Durham regions – on Wednesday morning.
“Clear skies and a humid air mass has allowed areas of dense fog to develop over much of southern Ontario,” the federal agency cautioned in a statement.
“Visibilities as low as 200 metres have been reported. Motorists are advised to exercise caution.”
The fog is expected to lift a few hours after sunrise.
