Severe storm to hit Toronto area with flood risks, harsh winds expected [Video]

Toronto and the GTA are bracing for a significant storm this week, with Environment Canada issuing a special weather statement for the region.

Heavy rainfall, potential thunderstorms and flooding are expected to hit Southern Ontario from Tuesday to Thursday.

Light rain will begin Tuesday morning in Toronto, gradually intensifying throughout the day. By Wednesday, the rain will become heavier, with thunderstorms possible in the afternoon.

Weather advisories warn that up to 25 mm of rain is in the forecast for Toronto, while some areas, including Barrie and Parry Sound, could see up to 30 mm.

Due to heavy snowfall over the past few weeks, the ground will be limited in absorbing rainfall, increasing the risk of localized flooding, especially in low-lying areas.

In addition to the rain, Environment Canada wrote in an alert that high winds and thunderstorms may create hazardous conditions, particularly for areas prone to flash flooding
