Toronto is expected to get hit with a large amount of rain on Wednesday, Environment Canada says.

The weather agency says rainfall amounts of 50 to 60 mm are expected by early Thursday with a few local areas reaching up to 75 mm.

“This widespread rainfall event is due to a cold front and a moisture laden low pressure system that will arrive from the American Mid-west,” Environment Canada said.

Toronto is forecasted to get showers and isolated thunderstorms Wednesday and Thursday.
