Environment Canada has ended the rainfall warning for Toronto and the GTA.
But there are more showers on Saturday and some locations could get as much as 10 millimetres.
And that's why the city and people who live on the islands are keeping eyes on water levels.
According to the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, Lake Ontario has risen 15 centimetres in the past two days pushing water through the sandbar.
The mayor toured Ward's Island Friday which is home to about 700 residents.
Many of them have seen their lawns turn into ponds in the past few weeks.
Julie Whitfield tells CP24 she has about 20 centimetres of water underneath her house.
“We have a well so my husband’s been measuring the water level,” Whitfield said. “It’s normally 75 to 85 centimetres below the sidewalk. This morning it was 10 centimetres below.”
Residents and city staff have laid down more than 3,000 sandbags to prevent the rising waters of Lake Ontario from damaging properties, John Tory said.
The city has restricted access to the island, cutting it down to residents, staff and emergency personnel amid concerns of flooding.
Ferry service to Centre Island and Hanlan’s Point Dock has been cancelled altogether, and service is limited to “required individuals only” to Ward’s Island Dock as part of the city’s effort to “mitigate the impact of wet weather.”
These restrictions will remain in effect until further notice.
