A wind warning remained in place for Calgary on Wednesday due to a significant risk of damaging winds.
The warning was initially issued by Environment Canada on Tuesday.
The organization said strong winds have begun to develop in southwestern Alberta in advance of an intense low pressure system.
In the wake of the system, very strong northerly winds gusting from 70 km/h to 100 km/h or more are expected to develop.

Environment Canada warned the wind could cause damage to buildings including roof shingles and windows, and could cause loose objects to be tossed around.
Winds are expected to diminish by late Wednesday afternoon.
Last Tuesday, powerful winds whipped into Calgary, toppling trees, downing power lines and damaging roofs.
