A strong cold front will sweep across the region today preceded by a band of scattered showers and thunderstorms. The band will affect areas near Georgian Bay in the late morning or around noon, then move rapidly eastward to reach eastern Ontario in the mid afternoon.
Winds gusts near or in excess of 90 km/h will be possible in some areas as the band moves through. Given that the showers and thunderstorms are expected to be scattered, strong wind gusts will only affect some areas.
Where these strong winds develop, local power outages will be possible.
