Strong Winds and Heavy Rain Expected in Toronto and Southern Ontario
A special weather statement has been issued for Toronto and much of southern Ontario as residents brace for a wet and windy weekend. Environment Canada has warned that strong winds and significant rainfall are expected, with some areas likely to see up to 25 mm of precipitation and wind gusts reaching speeds of 80 km/h.
If you’re in this region, get ready for a dynamic weather system moving in. Meteorologist Jesse Uppal from CityNews has noted that while some active weather may start developing on Saturday afternoon, the core of the system will arrive overnight into Sunday morning. There’s also a chance of thunderstorms accompanying this storm, making it an event to keep an eye on.

Although temperatures have been relatively mild lately, this incoming weather system presents some risks. The national weather service has highlighted concerns over the ground still being frozen in certain areas, which means that rainwater may not be absorbed effectively. This could lead to localized flooding, particularly in low-lying areas, and water pooling on roads, creating hazardous travel conditions. If you’re planning to be out and about, it’s best to stay updated and drive with caution.
Despite the stormy conditions, temperatures will still feel quite spring-like throughout the weekend, reaching the high teens. However, don’t get too comfortable with the warmth, as cooler air is expected to move in quickly once the system passes. By Monday morning, temperatures are likely to dip below freezing, marking a sharp contrast from the weekend’s conditions.
As this weather event unfolds, it’s important to stay informed and prepared. Secure any outdoor objects that could be affected by strong winds, keep an eye on weather alerts, and take necessary precautions, especially if you live in areas prone to flooding. Stay safe and keep your rain gear handy!
