People living in the Ottawa area can expect gusting winds and some rain overnight as Hurricane Sandy moves north.
At the Ottawa airport, more than 40 flights to and from the Northeastern U.S. were cancelled Monday.
No planes will be heading to that part of the United States for at least 48 hours, and some flights to cities such as Newark, New Jersey, and Boston, Massachusetts, were cancelled days ago.
Flights from Ottawa to elsewhere in Canada hadn't yet been cancelled Monday, though Porter flights between Ottawa and the Toronto city airport have been cancelled.
Airlines have said more Canadian flights could be cancelled as winds pick up.
People flying anywhere are advised to check arrival and departure listings for cancelled or delayed flights.
Wind warnings issued throughout Southern Ontario, along St. Lawrence
Meanwhile, Environment Canada issued wind warnings throughout Southern Ontario and along the St. Lawrence Seaway Monday morning.
In Ottawa, wind gusts between 40 km/h and 80 km/h are expected late Monday evening, with the temperature hovering around 13 C.
Tuesday is expected to bring mainly cloudy skies with a high of 16 C, with winds gusting from 40 km/h to 60 km/h in the morning before slowing down to 20 km/h to 40 km/h in the afternoon.
The Cornwall and Morrisburg areas are expecting strong winds Monday evening, gusting anywhere from 60 km/h to 100 km/h.
Winds of that strength can break tree limbs and knock over weak or shallow-rooted trees, Environment Canada said in a warning update, adding that some power outages are likely should any limbs or trees fall across power lines.
