Toronto residents are being warned to stay away from waterways and travel with caution after heavy rainfall in the Greater Toronto Area Sunday morning raised the risk of hazardous conditions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority issued a water safety advisory Sunday, saying that rain, combined with warmer temperatures and melting snow, could cause water levels to rise in GTA rivers.<\/p>\n

The conservation authority said flooding was not expected but warned residents should 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\u2019s is forecasting little rain in Toronto for this week.<\/p>\n
