“Heavy rains and strong winds will move in Sunday,” Global News weather specialist Carla Bosacki said.

“Fifteen to 25mm is possible, however, it is the strong wind gusts — up to 100 km/h — that is cause for concern. Along the shores of Georgian Bay and Lake Huron, these winds will cause flooding, beach erosion and possible power outages.”

Winds are expected to ease by Monday.
