Wind warnings are in effect in southeastern Alberta on Thursday.

Environment Canada issued the warning just before 3:30 p.m. for its Medicine Hat-Bow Island-Suffield, Cypress Hills Provincial Park-Foremost and Brooks-Strathmore-Vulcan areas.

The agency says strong winds gusting up to 90 km/h will diminish early this evening.

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.

It could be worse though. Snowfall warnings are in effect near Jasper National Park.
