Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for Tecumseh, Ontario, as strong winds are expected to hit the region on Friday, March 13, 2026. The alert warns that high wind gusts could cause power outages and damage to property starting late this afternoon and lasting through the night.
Forecasters expect winds from the west and southwest to reach speeds between 70 and 90 kilometres per hour. These conditions are likely to peak in the early evening before the wind begins to die down by Saturday morning.
Residents are advised to pick up or tie down loose items around their yards, such as lawn chairs and decorations, to keep them from being tossed by the wind. The agency noted that the strength of the gusts could result in some homes losing power temporarily.
The weather system is also expected to bring a drop in temperature and some light snow flurries as the winds move through the area. This statement covers the wider Windsor and Leamington areas along with the rest of Essex County.
