Environment Canada issued a wind warning in central Alberta Monday afternoon.
Strong winds, with gusts up to 90 kilometres per hour, are forecasted to develop this afternoon, Environment Canada said, adding blowing snow and reduced visibilities are possible as a result of the strong winds.
Winds will begin to ease this evening.
“Loose objects may be tossed by the wind and cause injury or damage,” said Environment Canada.
“Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions due to high winds.”
