A flood warning is in effect for the entire Lake Erie shoreline and we could see wave heights up to 2.6 metres in Long Point.
LAKE ERIE - The Long Point Region Conservation Authority has issued a Flood Warning for the entire Lake Erie shoreline.
Heavy rain over night and more expected today is the reason for the warning. Environment Canada has also issued a gale warning for Lake Erie. They warn of the potential for wind gusts of up to 90 km/h by late morning today.
Models indicate Lake Erie will rise in Long Point by 0.6 meters above the current level to an elevation of 175.14 meters and in the Port Colborne area 1.5 meters to an elevation of 176.03 meters.
Strong wins will cause big waves with heights reaching up to 2.6 meters in Long Point.
Minor flooding of roads in Long Point, Turkey Point, and Port Dover with depths of 0.1 to 0.2 metres can be expected. Wave uprush and increased shoreline erosion can be expected from this event.
The public is asked to stay away from the Lake Erie shoreline due to strong wave action and elevated water level.
