Toronto: Toronto the and GTA are under a special weather statement ahead of the arrival of heavy winds that could gust up to 90 kilometres an hour.
Environment Canada says that a low pressure system will arrive in the region sometime this afternoon, bringing sustained southwest winds of 70 to 80 km/h with it.
The weather agency says that a few wind gusts approaching 90 km/h are also possible.
The special weather statement covers a wide swath of Southern Ontario, including the entire Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA).
“The wind gusts are strong enough to cause minor tree and building damage. A few local power outages are possible,” the special weather statement says.
Environment Canada says that winds will “diminish quickly” later tonight as a high pressure ridge moves in.
A high of 24 C is called for in Toronto today with showers and the risk of a thunderstorm.
