As the afternoon progresses, winds are picking up across the City. The forecast is for strong southwesterly wind gusts of 70 to 80 km/h into the early evening. There may be higher gusts and thunderstorms. These strong winds are associated with a cold front that will track over the area late this afternoon and early this evening. As well, says Environment Canada, northwest winds gusting to 60 or 70 km/h are also expected this evening after the cold front passes. Winds will then diminish overnight.
