Thunder Bay is preparing for a significant weather event characterized by heavy rainfall and strong winds. A low-pressure system moving in from the west is expected to bring up to 2 inches (50 mm) of rain and winds reaching speeds of 40 mph (64 km/h) within the next 24 hours. Local authorities are advising residents to secure loose outdoor items and urging motorists to drive cautiously due to reduced visibility and potential flooding in low-lying areas.
