Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for Toronto

There’s rain on the way, and lots of it, according to Environment Canada.

A special weather statement is currently in effect for Toronto, with heavy amounts expected to move in overnight and into the weekend.

Environment Canada states that rain is expected to move into southwestern Ontario tonight and will persist into the day on Saturday.

“The rain may fall heavily at times,” states the weather statement, which forecasts a total rainfall amounts of 25 to 40 mm in the city of Toronto, although some areas may receive higher amounts.

The rain is expected to taper off Saturday evening.

For now, grab those umbrellas. You’ll need them.
