GTHA Rain Deluge and Flood Warnings | Toronto News

Torrential rain and thunderstorms slammed the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area yesterday, dousing some spots with over 50mm of rain and triggering flash flood warnings — but no tornadoes touched down. The wet system, fueled by a moisture-laden air mass from the Midwest crossing Lake Erie, brought slick roads and dangerous river levels, prompting authorities to urge drivers and residents to stay clear of flooded zones. While it spoiled the long weekend, climatologists say this kind of downpour isn’t unusual for summer — and without strong winds, it’s a small blessing. Drier skies are expected tonight, with sunshine returning Monday and Tuesday for a much-needed break. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
