From the Globe and Mail:

Canadian weather experts are predicting heavy rain to begin early Friday in southern Ontario and spread north to Sudbury by late afternoon and to James Bay by evening. The area west of Toronto is expected to be soaked with upwards of 50 millimetres of rain, while the eastern part of the province will likely receive no more than 10 millimetres. Residents from Toronto east and into Quebec face the harshest winds, though, with winds blowing at between 40 and 70 km/h.
