Toronto residents are being warned to stay away from waterways and travel with caution as rain falls in the Greater Toronto Area, raising the risk of hazardous conditions.<\/p>\n
The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority issued a water safety advisory this morning, saying that rain, combined with warmer temperatures and melting snow, could cause water levels to rise in GTA rivers. <\/p>\n
The conservation authority says flooding is not expected but warned residents to exercise caution. <\/p>\n
The advisory in Toronto comes as large swaths of southern and central Ontario were under flood warnings earlier this month due to a major storm, most of which have since been downgraded to water safety advisories.<\/p>\n
At least 14 conservation authorities stretching from Ottawa to Sarnia have water safety advisories still in effect. <\/p>\n
Environment Canada forecasts the rain in Toronto to end this afternoon and weather radar shows the weather system moving east toward New York.<\/p>\n
