The province has issued High Wind Effects warnings for parts of Lake Manitoba and Lake Winnipeg.
The Transportation and Infrastructure’s Hydrologic Forecast Centre says high winds are expected to develop, beginning Friday night and lasting until Sunday morning.
Areas expected to be impacted the most are the south basin of Lake Manitoba as well as shorelines near Gimli on the west side and Victoria Beach on the east side of Lake Winnipeg.
Property owners are advised to take precautions, as winds could gust as high as 90 km an hour over the weekend, which could result in action that could raise water levels by five feet or more.
