High pressure built over Ontario and lingered for several days. A persistent east northeast wind around 15 to 20 knots started late on the evening of the 12th and continued and increased in speed on the 14th. Speeds gradually diminished but directions remained out of the east northeast on the 15th. The result of this persistent wind was a piling of water over the western basin and exasperated lakeshore flooding in already high lake levels.
