The Essex Region Conservation Authority is warning of potential flooding.
A flood outlook has been issued for parts of Essex County due to strong west winds with potential sustained speeds of 30 km/hr and gusts to 40 km/hr throughout the weekend and into Monday.
Officials are concerned about near shore erosion with wave overtopping and spray.
There is also the possibility of potential breakwall damage.
The areas most affected by west winds are the west shoreline of Pelee Island and along the shoreline of Leamington from the tip of Point Pelee National Park westerly to the Leamington Marina.
Residents are advised to take extra caution and avoid shoreline areas during wind and lake wave events.
The combination of slippery banks, waves, waves overtopping breakwalls and fast moving water can be dangerous.
Children, pets and livestock should be kept away from flowing, standing water as well as shoreline and breakwall areas.
This advisory is in effect until 12 p.m. on Monday.
