Triple Weather Threat Looms Over Southern Ontario
A significant weather event is set to impact Southern Ontario, as a cold front approaches the area. This front is expected to arrive in the late afternoon and may lead to thunderstorms stretching from London to Niagara.
Forecast for Southern Ontario
Following the arrival of the cold front, the wind patterns will shift. Winds will come from the northwest and intensify overnight. A blustery Sunday is anticipated, with wind gusts reaching 60 to 80 km/h in many parts of the region.
High Winds and Lake-Effect Squalls
The forecasted gusts will be particularly strong near the escarpment and along the shores of Lake Huron. The sizeable northwest winds are expected to trigger lake-effect squalls throughout Sunday. By Sunday evening, these squalls are likely to become more organized, particularly off Lake Huron.
- Main affected areas: London to Woodstock
- Secondary areas: Collingwood to Highway 400 south of Barrie
Conditions for Monday
As the new workweek begins, wind gusts are projected to decrease slightly. However, conditions will still be conducive to lake-effect snow squalls in various parts of Southern Ontario.
Residents are advised to stay informed about the changing weather conditions throughout this triple weather threat. Adequate preparation is crucial as the region experiences these extreme weather patterns.
