This weekend, a cold and wet weather system has settled over the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), prompting Environment Canada to issue a special weather statement. Rainfall is expected to reach up to 50 millimeters in certain areas, with gusty winds accompanying the precipitation. The rain began early Saturday, causing temperatures, which are forecasted to peak at 13°C, to feel as low as 3°C due to the wind chill factor. As the low-pressure system moves eastward, the steady rain is anticipated to taper off to drizzle by Saturday night and into Sunday morning. Although Sunday may bring slightly warmer temperatures nearing 20°C, cloudy skies and continued windy conditions will keep the chill in the air. Importantly, while flooding is not expected and no flood watches or warnings have been issued, residents are advised to exercise caution near rivers and streams, as water levels may rise and currents could become faster. It is recommended that individuals stay away from shorelines and riverbanks, particularly when accompanied by children and pets, and to remain updated on weather forecasts.
