Communities in southern Niagara Region and Norfolk County should expect high winds Friday, with gusts of up to 80 kilometres per hour expected, Environment Canada says. 

A cold front will lead to strong winds this afternoon, lessening in the evening, the federal agency said in a statement.

“Local utility outages are possible. Secure loose objects,” Environment Canada warned.

The warning applies to municipalities including Niagara Falls, Ont., Welland, Ont., Port Colborne, Ont., and Port Dover, Ont.

In some parts of the Hamilton area, there’s fog. Environment Canada says that should pass this morning.
