Heavy rain in store for Toronto, to turn into wet snow overnight

Heavy rain is in store for Toronto and is expected to turn into wet snow late Wednesday night, Environment Canada says.

The federal weather agency has issued a new special weather statement for the city, saying it should expect an additional five to 10 millimetres of rain on Wednesday evening.

"Rain will transition to snow tonight as temperatures cool, although significant amounts are not expected," the federal weather agency said.

The Greater Toronto Area saw near-constant rain Wednesday as a spring storm brought wet and gusty conditions with it.

Toronto's Pearson International Airport said it was experiencing flight delays Wednesday due to the weather. Incoming and outgoing flights between Toronto and some airports along the U.S. eastern seaboard including New York, New Jersey, and Philadelphia were delayed Wednesday, it said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

The gloomy spring weather is forecast to stick around until the weekend, with sunshine and daily temperature highs in the low to mid-teens expected on Saturday and Sunday and through to early next week.
