Powerful Southwesterly Winds to Hit Southern Ontario Today as Georgian Bay Faces Wind Warning

Environment Canada urges residents to secure loose items ahead of hazardous gusts into the evening.

Overview

  • A special weather statement remains in effect for a broad stretch from Windsor through the Greater Toronto Area toward near Ottawa, with gusts of roughly 70 to 90 km/h expected from late morning into the evening.
  • Areas surrounding Georgian Bay are under a wind warning, with forecast gusts of 90 to 100 km/h or higher.
  • The gusty conditions are being driven by a low-pressure system moving over northeastern Ontario that is producing strong southwesterly flow.
  • Environment Canada notes formal wind warnings may be issued elsewhere if conditions intensify and advises ongoing monitoring of official alerts.
  • Officials ask the public to secure outdoor items, use caution during travel, and submit severe-weather reports via [email protected] or on X using #ONStorm.
