Province Issues High Wind Effect for
Lake Winnipeg and South Shores of Lake Manitoba
Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure’s Hydrologic Forecast Centre is advising high winds along the south basin of Lake Manitoba and western shorelines near Gimli and Victoria Beach on the east side of Lake Winnipeg developing Wednesday afternoon and lasting until Thursday early morning.
Northwest wind gusts up to 55 km/h and wave action could raise levels by as much as five feet or more.
Residents and property owners are advised to remain vigilant and take any necessary precautions. A map of the Manitoba Lake Wind Effect Forecast showing the affected areas is available at www.gov.mb.ca/mit/floodinfo/floodoutlook/forecast_centre/lakes/wind_alert/2022/manitoba_lakes_Jul_27_2022_WindAlertMap_12H.pdf.
Several communities throughout the province continue to be impacted by high water levels. Manitoba Emergency Measures Organization (EMO) continues to work with all local authorities and emergency management partners to provide guidance and support for response and recovery activities. Additionally, Manitoba EMO continues to work with Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) in supporting ISC-led response measures with First Nation communities.
