Heavy rains, thunderstorms in Toronto could lead to overflowing rivers, pools of water: Environment Canada | CBC News
""The saturated ground has reduced ability to absorb further rainfall. Water will likely pool on roads and in low-lying areas.""
""The TRCA warned commuters to avoid going through pools of floodwater that may be deeper or faster flowing than it appears.""
""Keep children and pets away from fast moving water and slippery or unstable riverbanks.""
Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for Toronto, warning of heavy rains and thunderstorms on Tuesday. Up to 20 millimetres of rain is expected, with higher amounts possible. The saturated ground may lead to water pooling on roads. The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has extended a flood outlook, indicating potential flooding and rising river levels. Commuters are advised to avoid floodwater. Despite the rain, temperatures will reach a high of 21 C, with another round of heavy rain expected the following day.
