NATE TO MAKE MONDAY SLOPPY
Remnants of tropical storm Nate are expected to bring “appreciable rain” to Toronto overnight Sunday into Monday, Environment Canada says. The federal agency said in a special weather statement issued early Sunday that the rain will begin falling on Sunday night in regions north of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario and that includes Toronto. Between 20 to 30 millimetres are likely, with high amounts of 40 millimetres possible in local areas. The rain is expected to taper off as the day proceeds.
