The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is in for a soggy day as the remnants of Hurricane Beryl sweep through much of southern Ontario, bringing with it heavy rainfall.
Environment Canada said "torrential downpours" are expected in the region as the storm system passes through Wednesday and Thursday. Some areas could see local rainfall amounts of 40 to 60 mm, with rates of 20 to 40 mm/h at times.
The strongest rainfall is expected Wednesday.
CP24 Meteorologist Bill Coulter said most of the GTA will see about two weeks' worth of rain in a day, while some areas in the north GTA could see a month's worth. However the storm will come in gaps, consistent with the breakup of a hurricane.
"So instead of having this perfectly round shape that you saw in the Caribbean, it's been stretched out. It's taking on post-tropical characteristics. So it's got kind of these branches and arms of precipitation," Coulter said.
