The strongest winds were felt in the Niagara Region and the Greater Toronto Area before dawn. Even though the winds have calmed down a bit, they’re still hanging around this morning.
Southwestern Ontario, the GTA, and Niagara can expect gusts between 50-60 km/h. So, if you’re out and about, hold onto your hats!
Now, the winds are shifting east. Areas along the Lake Ontario shoreline, like Cobourg, Prince Edward County, and Kingston, are in for a gusty ride. They could see winds up to 80 km/h near the shore and around 70 km/h further inland.
