From the Grey Sauble Conservation Authority: A cold front associated with a low-pressure system is forecasted to move across Lake Huron and Georgian Bay on Sunday (Nov. 15, 2020) and into Monday (Nov. 16, 2020) bringing with it high winds. Strong southerly winds are expected to develop Sunday and are forecasted to swing to the west on Sunday evening and into Monday morning. Maximum sustained wind speeds of 40-50 km per hour with gusts up to 100 km per hour are expected. Winds are forecasted to diminish throughout the day Monday but will remain steady out of the west. The strong winds, combined with near record-high water levels on Lake Huron, will result in higher than normal waves hitting shoreline areas and potential lake surging.

The increased wave height and lake surging may result in minor flooding of low-lying shoreline areas, as well as increased risk of erosion.

This message will remain in effect until 12:00 pm on Monday November 16, 2020, unless local conditions warrant further updates. The Grey Sauble Conservation Authority (GSCA) will continue to monitor watershed conditions and will provide an update if required.
