Strong winds that may cause damage are expected or occurring.
Strong northwesterly winds are developing behind a fast-moving cold front this morning. Winds gusting to 70 km/h will at times gust to 90 in the Edmonton Metro area this morning. As the winds spread southeastward, strong gusts will reach the Red Deer, Lloydminster and Hanna regions by mid-morning and continue through the afternoon.
The strong winds combined with falling snow will create brief poor visibilities on area roadways through the morning.
Loose objects may be tossed by the wind and cause injury or damage. Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions due to high winds.
Wind warnings are issued when there is a significant risk of damaging winds.
