@TorontoPearson I’m just

When it rains, the airport uses several stormwater facilities to capture the water and manage and control the quantity and quality of stormwater leaving the airport. Our biggest, the Moores Creek Stormwater Management Facility, can hold 42 million litres of water in underground tanks, and an additional 42 million litres in ponds above ground. That’s a combined equivalent of 33 Olympic-sized swimming pools. When constructed in 2001, it was one of the largest concrete pours in Canada! Here’s a snippet of what the underground tanks look like. (Those water marks on the poles are about 10 feet high).

Today we’re planning for nearly 1,000 arriving or departing flights, with this morning’s start-up expected to include around 120 departing flights between 7 a.m. and 9:59 a.m. Our specialists are keeping an eye on today’s forecast, which shows a band of thunderstorms expected to sweep over the GTA early this evening. This storm could bring winds up to 84km/h, heavy thunderstorms, heavy downpours (possibly 20mm of rain in an hour) and hail. ⛈️ With severe weather comes the chance that airlines may cancel flights. torontopearson.com/en/departures

A disturbance south of Mexico has a high chance of becoming a tropical depression during the next day or two while it moves west-northwestward away from the coast. For the latest details go to: hurricanes.gov/gtwo.php?basin…

Winter storm Jayden prompts warnings in the deep south and will bring snow to the Northeast. Behind the storm, wind chills will drop below -50 for some. Tonight @TomNiziol and @TWCAlexWilson breaks down your chance for snow. Plus @mikebettes is live in Atlanta for the Big Game!

Stay safe

NHC is monitoring a disturbance that is located east of the Leeward Islands. Environmental conditions are expected to gradually become more conducive for development over the next several days. More information at hurricanes.gov

#Oscar is likely to form in the Atlantic, but the late-October #weather pattern likely means it’s no concern for the U.S.: wxch.nl/2JkL3VG

As the #Noreaster looks to hamper many of your Saturday plans across the East, our experts will break down the wind, rain, & coastal flood threats hour by hour! But first, the #South will deal w/ rain & possible #severe storms Friday. We'll time it out LIVE on #WUTV @ 5-8pm ET!

The United States has now been struck by five Category 4 or 5 tropical cyclones in 14 months: wxch.nl/2Jeoba9

Our break in storms is likely ending due to a low pressure area about 900 miles east of the northern Leeward Islands. The low has a 70% chance of becoming a tropical or subtropical cyclone through Monday, with the highest chances on Friday or Saturday. hurricanes.gov

Computer models are in agreement on the first nor'easter of the season this weekend. The storm will likely tap moisture from the remnants of Hurricane Willa. Heavy rains, strong gusty winds and minor-moderate coastal flooding is expected along the Eastern Seaboard this weekend.

Hurricane #Willa made landfall at 7 PM MDT near Isla Del Bosque, Sinaloa, or about 10 miles (15 km) south of Escuinapa. Maximum winds at landfall were estimated to be 120 mph (195 km/h), with a minimum central pressure of 965 mb (28.50 inches). nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/M…
