You will need your rain gear after all for the Toronto Stadium World Cup match coming up this Wednesday evening.
While the forecast originally showed the storm risk would end before kick-off at 7 p.m., the models now show rain starting just in time for the match.
The rain will also continue get heavier as play goes on with potentially strong thunderstorms overnight.
A special weather statement has been issued by Environment Canada as rainfall amounts could be in excess of 40 millimetres.
Attendees and those heading to watch parties make sure to bring a raincoat or umbrella as heavy rain and possible thunderstorms will continue as people head home. It will also be breezy during the match with southwest winds gusting up to 40km/h.
“We are looking at heavy rain, and then a pretty big storm threat around midnight. So if you are staying out and celebrating, please be mindful, the storm threat is absolutely real,” said weather specialist Michelle Mackey.
Ghana will be taking on Panama at Toronto Stadium Wednesday for the second FIFA World Cup match in the city.
The rain will continue Thursday morning before clearing out to another high of 22 C. Friday will be seasonal and partly cloudy with a chance of scattered storms and a high of 22 C.
