Torontonians are being warned to stay off waterways and drive with caution after heavy rain in the Greater Toronto Area on Sunday morning raised the risk of hazardous conditions.
The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority issued a water safety advisory Sunday, saying the rain, combined with warmer temperatures and melting snow, could cause water levels in GTA rivers to rise.

The conservation authority said flooding was not expected, but warned residents to be careful.
The advisory in Toronto comes after large parts of southern and central Ontario were under flood warnings earlier this month due to a major storm, most of which have since been downgraded to water safety advisories.
At least 14 conservation authorities stretching from Ottawa to Sarnia still have water safety advisories in effect.
Environment Canada is forecasting some rain in Toronto this week.
