A powerful Colorado low will affect the region over the next two days. Northerly winds will begin to strengthen this afternoon and reach 60 km/h gusting to 90 km/h late this evening. The strong winds will continue through the overnight hours and Tuesday morning.
Nearby residents of Lake Winnipegosis and Dauphin Lake are being asked to prepare for water levels that are expected to rise over five feet along shorelines. Winds will diminish Tuesday afternoon as the low moves off into northwestern Ontario.
