Officials are cautioning residents about potential power outages during another day of wild winter weather in Toronto, with wind warnings in place.

Environment Canada is warning that strong winds could lead to power outages and disruptions to transportation as a wind warning remains in effect for Toronto on Monday.

The national weather agency said a cold front will bring strong southwesterly winds to the city on Monday morning before becoming northwesterly in the afternoon.

“Areas with significant ice build-up from freezing rain will be most vulnerable. Utility outages are possible. Significant disruptions to services and travel are likely,” Environment Canada’s advisory read.

“Significant damage to buildings and/or trees is possible.”

Air Canada said the “significant weather event” in parts of eastern Canada may impact flights today. Travellers are being advised to check their flight status ahead of time for any delays or cancellations.

CP24 Meteorologist Bill Coulter said wind gusts could reach up to 90 km/h on Monday.

“These powerful and cold winds are also expected to generate impressive snow squalls off Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. Some of the traditional snow belts adjacent to these bodies of water could pick up 25 to 50cm of snow locally and face near blizzard conditions today and tonight,” Coulter said.

A wind warning remains in effect for Toronto. Strong wind gusts are expected throughout the day. Remember, high winds can bring down trees and branches onto powerlines.
