A Strong Wind Warning has been issued by Environment Canada due to strong winds in the forecast for Lake Erie.
Winds from the east will pick up strength tomorrow morning and are expected to peak in the evening with sustained wind speeds above 40 km/hr and gusts of up to 65 km/hr.
The sustained winds from the east throughout the day tomorrow could raise lake levels in the Rondeau Bay area an additional 10 to 20 cm. Waves on the lake are forecasted to reach 2 m in height by Wednesday evening.
If the forecasts hold, there could be flooding on the bay side of Erieau to a greater extent than that observed last week. There could also be flooding in other communities around Rondeau Bay such as Shrewsbury, Rondeau Bay Estates, Rose Beach Line and Erie Shore Drive, as well as in flood prone areas further west around Wheatley.
