A widespread rainfall warning for Toronto and the GTA was lifted on Wednesday morning following periods of heavy rain overnight.
Environment Canada issued the weather alert on Tuesday ahead of a strong system that forecasters cautioned could bring up to 50 millimetres of rain to certain areas.
Special weather statements were also issued for areas such as Hamilton, Barrie-Collingwood-Hillsdale, and Windsor, among other regions. Those alerts have since been lifted.
The wet weather subsided early on Wednesday, but there is a risk of scattered thunderstorms for Toronto and parts of the GTA this afternoon that could lead to an additional 2-5 mm accumulated when it’s all said and done.
A return to sunshine will be delayed until Thursday when Toronto is forecasted to have a daytime high of 22 C and a mix of sun and clouds. It will cool down on Friday with a high of 20 C and a mix of sun and clouds in Toronto.
