Residents in Port Colborne, Ontario, and the southern Niagara region should prepare for strong winds today, March 13, 2026, as gusts are expected to reach up to 90 km/h. Environment Canada has issued a wind warning for the area, including Niagara Falls and Welland, as a weather system moves through.
The southwesterly winds are forecasted to strengthen throughout the day and will likely be at their strongest during the evening hours. Local officials expect the wind to begin easing late tonight and into the early morning.
Weather experts have categorized this event as having a moderate impact on the community. These high speeds are strong enough to cause property damage and may lead to local utility power outages if tree branches or debris hit power lines.
People living in the area are being advised to stay informed and monitor local conditions as the weather evolves. Securing loose outdoor objects like patio furniture can help prevent damage during the high winds.
