Updated at 7:10 p.m.:

Clusters of power outages are dotting the Hydro One outage map with outages through southern areas of Huron, through Perth County and in northern areas of Wellington County.

And there is still an outage affecting 14, 000 customers in the Lucan area which is the key focus of crews right now.

And while the estimated restoration time is 8 p.m. for some, other restoration times have now been pushed into Monday and as late as 1:30 p.m.

Power outages have been on and off all day, especially just north of the Hwy. 401 corridor.

The temperature is still holding at or just above freezing which continues to set the stage for freezing affecting power lines.

There are multiple reports of downed power lines in Perth South.

An earlier outage affecting properties northwest of Wiarton has been resloved.
