Toronto and much of the surrounding GTA slept through periods of heavy overnight rain, making way for strong winds that could impact the evening commute.
Environment Canada issued a rainfall warning on Thursday, initially predicting upwards of 50 mm of rain in Toronto into Friday.
The rainfall warning was lifted for the city and across much of the GTA later in the morning, though a special weather statement remains in effect due to strong wind gusts of up to 80 km/h expected this evening.
“Winds will ease late tonight into Saturday morning as the low-pressure system departs,” Environment Canada said. “Strong wind gusts may toss loose objects or cause tree branches to break.”
The 680 News Radio Toronto guaranteed high of 13 C has already been reached, and daytime temperatures will fall to 8 C in the afternoon.
The active weather will move out by Saturday, with partly cloudy skies and a high near 12 C. We’re expecting light rain and a high near 12 C on Sunday.
Monday is shaping up to be a gorgeous spring day in the city, with sunny skies and a forecasted daytime high of 16 C.
