Travel may become difficult, particularly along open stretches of highway. Drivers of high-profile vehicles, including semi-trucks, RVs and vehicles towing trailers, should be prepared for strong crosswinds.

The wind could also create challenges for rural residents, with open fields and exposed roadways offering little shelter from the wind.

Strong winds can also bring down tree branches and cause isolated power outages.

Although the wind is forecast to gradually ease by afternoon, the blustery conditions may not be finished after today, with another weather system expected to bring additional wind to the Prairies later in the weekend.

Despite the windy conditions, temperatures are forecast to remain above seasonal averages across much of the province, with daytime highs reaching the low to mid-teens in some communities.
