- Gale Warning for Lakes Huron and St. Clair
- Storm surge, possible flooding
- Potential for increased wave action and shoreline erosion
Winds from a southerly or westerly direction in the Lake St. Clair region have the ability to create a backwater effect, elevating water levels in the Wallaceburg area with a potential for minor flooding.
Residents along both lake shorelines may experience storm surge and increased wave action, with a potential for erosion and/or flooding in natural floodplain areas.
Banks and shorelines are anticipated to be slippery, with possible erosion. Residents are reminded to avoid watercourses and flooded areas due to slippery banks and cold, swift moving water. Children and pets should be kept away from the water.
The Conservation Authority continues to monitor watershed conditions and will issue advisories to municipalities and media should flood issues arise.
Municipal emergency response staff and road superintendents should monitor local conditions closely.
This message will remain in effect until Tuesday, November 17, 2020, unless otherwise updated.
