A wind warning is in effect for Gananoque and the surrounding area, with southwesterly winds expected to gust between 90 and 100 km/h this afternoon through this evening. The high winds could cause damage to buildings, including roof shingles and windows, and increase the risk of power outages and fallen tree branches.
In addition to the strong winds, a cold front will move through the area tonight, bringing bursts of heavy snow and blowing snow. This will significantly reduce visibility and cause a sharp temperature drop.
Motorists are urged to be prepared for changing road conditions due to the high winds and reduced visibility from snow. It’s important to secure outdoor items and take precautions to minimize the risk of damage. Winds will gradually weaken overnight, but drivers should continue to exercise caution through the evening.
