A special weather statement for Toronto and the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area related to rain from Tropical Storm Debby has ended.
Environment Canada said as much as 50 millimetres of rain was expected to fall in some regions on Friday, warning for flash flooding in low-lying areas.
680 NewsRadio Toronto meteorologist Jill Taylor said rounds of showers and thunderstorms were expected to bring around 10 millimetres of rain in Toronto with higher amounts to the north and east of the GTA.
The system was expected to clear in the afternoon.
Meanwhile, remnants of the tropical storm is merging with another low pressure system over the Great Lakes, which could bring up to 100 millimetres of rain to parts of Eastern Canada.
The remnants of Debby are expected to reach New Brunswick Friday night and dump up to 40 millimetres of rain through Saturday morning.
