Environment Canada has issued a special weather alert for Ottawa warning of the potential for high winds and more rain as temperatures are expected to plummet this afternoon.
According to the national weather watcher, strong and gusty west-to-southwest winds are expected to develop this afternoon with some areas in the St. Lawrence Valley seeing gusts of up to 80 km/h. The potential for damage to trees has been highlighted by Environment Canada, which also warned that power outages are a possibility.
Temperatures in the nation’s capital were around 13 C at 8 a.m., but they are expected to plunge to 1 C by this evening.
Temperatures for Friday are expected to hover around 5 C before rising to 8 C for Halloween.
The weather alert comes as Ottawa is still trying to dry out from the remnants of Hurricane Patricia that passed through the region on Wednesday. While the nation’s capital avoided much of the wind that was forecast to come with that storm, the city was drenched by rain.
Wednesday was the wettest Oct. 28 in more than 45 years. According to official accounts, Ottawa received 31.6 mm of rain, breaking the record of 25.7 mm set on Oct. 28, 1962.
More to come.
