Strong gusty winds expected to disrupt on Monday, Environment Canada warns

Environment Canada issued a yellow-level wind warning on Monday for parts of southern and central Ontario, with strong southwesterly winds beginning Monday morning and easing Monday evening.
A strong cold front will push southwesterly winds into the region Monday morning, with Environment Canada assigning an Impact Level: Moderate and Forecast Confidence: High.
Region-Specific forecasts show 90 to 110 km/h in the southern Niagara region and 80 to 90 km/h in Hamilton, with parts of Niagara and other affected areas seeing 70 to 80 km/h, easing to 60 km/h to 70 km/h Monday evening.
Residents and motorists in affected communities face possible utility outages and property damage, with areas with ice accretion from freezing rain most vulnerable to wind-related harm, Environment Canada warns.
Environment Canada urged continued monitoring of forecasts and alerts, advising people to report severe weather to ONstorm@ec.gc.ca or on X using #ONStorm and consult the federal weather-alerts webpage.
