The damaging winds will continue into Sunday evening, then will gradually start to diminish overnight, except near Eastern Lake Ontario where they may persist until Monday morning.

Loose objects may be tossed by the wind and cause injury or damage. Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions due to high winds.
