Toronto and much of the surrounding GTA slept through periods of heavy overnight rain, which is expected to persist throughout the morning commute.
Environment Canada issued a rainfall warning on Thursday, initially predicting upwards of 50 mm of rain in Toronto. Canada’s weather agency is still forecasting that total, with 10 to 15 mm of rain still expected on Friday morning.
Similar alerts are in effect for Halton-Peel and Hamilton, with heavier rain experienced in Timmins and Windsor.
The rain will likely taper off in Toronto by noon on Friday.
The 680 News Radio Toronto guaranteed high of 13 C has already been reached, as daytime temperatures will fall to 8 C for the afternoon.
