Environment Canada has issued another special weather statement warning of high winds on Saturday for Waterloo Region and Guelph as well as Huron, Perth, Wellington and Dufferin counties.
The winds, which are likely to hit much of southern Ontario, are expected to arrive early in the morning and continue right through the afternoon.
The agency warns that winds gusting of up to 70 km/h will arrive ahead of a cold front but once that arrives, they could grow even stronger.
