The Storm Headed For Toronto Could Bring Up To 50Mm Of Rain

In a news release issued Sunday, the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) said Environment Canada is predicting “widespread” rain and thunderstorms from this afternoon to late Monday.
While the storms are expected to start around 4 p.m., the TRCA said there is a chance of multiple storms in the same location at the same time and “could lead to localized rainfall of up to 50 millimeters by the end of Sunday.”
The group said watersheds in the Greater Toronto Area have already seen between 5 and 20 millimeters of rain in the past 24 hours.  About 53 mm of rain has also been recorded in the northern Etobicoke Creek watershed.
As a result of the downpour, TRCA advises that rivers within the GTA may experience higher flows and water levels.
“The combination of slippery and unstable banks and rising water levels could create dangerous conditions near rivers or other bodies of water,” it said in a statement.
People are advised to avoid all recreational activities in or around bodies of water at this time, including Lake Ontario.
Parents and guardians are asked to keep children and pets away from the riverbanks as they may have become slippery or unstable due to overnight rainfall.
A water safety statement for catchment conditions is in effect until Tuesday, August 23.
Meanwhile, in a separate news release, the Credit Valley Conservation Authority said “heavy rainfall” associated with the storms could result in water pooling on roads and in floodplain and low-lying urban areas.
The organization, which monitors the watershed that stretches from Mississauga to the south and Orangeville to the north, said some areas could also see higher flows and water levels later this afternoon and into Monday.
Environment Canada has not issued any weather warnings or watches at this time.
