What a difference a day makes. A cold front moved through the regions last night and has taken us from Summer to Fall in a matter of 12 hours. A strong pressure gradient behind the cold front is causing strong gusty winds up to 70km/h at times across the regions. The cool winds blowing across the warm waters of lake Huron are also causing some Lake Effect Showers to form inland and are stretching all the way to the Golden Horseshoe region.
Temperatures today are only hovering around the low to mid teens across the area, however with the strong winds, it's feeling quite a bit chillier.
The strong winds should subside a bit overnight, but continue to be gusty into Sunday as well. Lake Effect showers should continue during the overnight and into the morning on Sunday before winds begin to diminish and subsequently end the showers across Southern Ontario.
Hurricane Earl came ashore near Lunenberg, Nova Scotia this morning at around 1030am local time. Earl was a minimal category 1 hurricane, but was soon downgraded to tropical storm. Extensive damage has been reported around the Halifax area with several trees downed. Winds have gusted upwards of 120km/h across the region and will continue to be gusty today as Earl makes it's trek northeastwards into the Northumberland Staight and eventually into the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
