"High winds may toss loose objects or cause tree branches to break," Environment Canada reports. 

An approaching low pressure system will increase the outflow winds through the sound tonight, according to the Environment Canada alert issued mid-day on Monday. 

Winds of northeast 70 km/h with higher gusts will develop overnight and continue into early Tuesday morning, according to the  alert. 

The wind will ease late Tuesday morning as the low passes.
