Environment Canada said stronger wind gusts of 80 km/h are likely during the showers.
However, winds are expected to die down later tonight as the cold front moves through the region.
The special weather statement comes as the City of Toronto is expected to reach a summer-like high of 27 C on Tuesday. The temperature will drop to 10 C this evening.
