Rain-weary Torontonians couldn't have been happy when they woke up Sunday morning. Earlier promises of a hot, muggy summer day seemed improbable when the black skies opened up drenching pedestrians and cyclists and making rivers of the streets.
But the severe thunderstorm watches and warnings have ended for much of the GTA, including Toronto, Halton, Peel, York and Durham.
Around the noon hour, Environment Canada was warning of potential thunderstorms producing wind gusts of 100 km/h along with large hail and torrential downpours accumulating to 50 millimetres or more in less than an hour.
Officials said the unsettled conditions in southern Ontario may even bring about a tornado.
There was no sign of the storm a couple of hours later when the clouds made way for searing sunshine and temperatures hovered around 26C, which felt more like 36 with the humidity.
Still, the weather will be touch-and-go into Monday, with more rain and thunderstorms possible.
