Environment Canada says “very strong winds are expected to develop this morning. Wind gusts up to 110 km/h are possible, and as high as 120 km/h in southern sections such as Lethbridge and Medicine Hat. The wind will diminish Wednesday evening.”

The warning also says damage to buildings, such as to roof shingles and windows, may occur. Loose objects may be tossed by the wind and cause injury or damage.

Motorists are also advised to be prepared to adjust their driving with changing road conditions due to high winds.

Wind warnings are also in effect for areas in central Alberta and Saskatchewan and there are snowfall or winter storm warnings for areas near the Rocky Mountains and in the northern parts of the provinces.
