“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.”
