A flood and erosion watch has been put in place by the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority.
Lakeshore areas are expected to receive strong winds with a gust of 70km/h, which may result in flooding and erosion problems along the shoreline.
Strong northwest winds have been forecasted and are expected to begin early Thursday morning and last for most of the day, changing to a west wind on Friday before diminishing late Friday.
The strong winds, combined with near record-high levels on the lake, will result in higher than normal waves hitting the shoreline areas.
Continued erosion of the lakeshore bluff is likely to happen. Municipal officials and Residents are reminded to stay away from any breaking waves, as well as from top-of-bluff areas.
