“A system spinning by to the south of us will kick up clouds over the lower lakes and bring the risk of late morning showers to the GTA. Watch also for localized thunderstorms developing over the region by late afternoon,” CP24 Meteorologist Bill Coulter said. “A few showers could linger into early Saturday. But, again, the active weather will be very localized.
There is a 30 per cent chance of showers on Saturday afternoon with the risk of more thunderstorms, according to Environment Canada.
