This wind event is being caused by a low pressure system that will track across northeastern Ontario. Environment Canada is indicating that gusts could top 110 km/h - however, a reliable wind forecaster is not indicating winds that strong in Oakville, Ontario.
The expectation is that this event should end sometime between late morning to early afternoon on Monday, November 16, 2020.
The potential hazards of high winds are breaking branches, flying debris, damage to roof shingles and even windows, and possible power outages. Though the power grid operated by Oakville Hydro is very robust.
