It’s going to be a blustery weekend in Chatham-Kent.
Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement with rain and high winds in the forecast tomorrow.
With wind gusts of up to 80 kilometres an hour in some areas, officials with the weather office say there may be some damage to tree branches and the potential for power outages.
The Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority has also issued a flood watch for the region due to the strong winds in the forecast.
