Environment Canada calling for wind gusts up to 100 km/h
The threat of high winds has cancelled ferry service to and from P.E.I. on Saturday night and throughout Sunday.
Northumberland Ferries announced the ferry between Wood Islands and Caribou would not run on Sunday after Environment Canada issued wind warnings for the region. It later shelved the Saturday night crossings.
A wind warning is in effect for all of P.E.I.
"Strong southwesterly winds gusting to 100 km/h along parts of the coast are expected to develop tonight, then gradually diminish on Sunday," said Environment Canada.
"Loose objects may be tossed by the wind and cause injury or damage."
The expected strong winds come in the aftermath of back-to-back rain storms that were expected to dump up to 100 millimetres on parts of the Maritimes.
