Wind warning issued by Environment Canada for southwestern Saskatchewan

UPDATE: All warnings mentioned in this story have ended.

Parts of southwestern Saskatchewan are under a wind warning as a low-pressure system passes through the province.

Environment Canada said the system from B.C. will pass through central Saskatchewan on Friday night before moving into Manitoba on Saturday.

A cold front trailing the low-pressure system will bring very gusty northwest winds to the warned areas, the agency said.

Gusts of 70 to 80 km/h are expected Friday night, with gusts hitting 90 to 100 km/h in some regions, Environment Canada said.

The gusty winds are expected to spread through southern Saskatchewan on Saturday morning.

Temperatures will be above normal on Friday as the system moves through the province, but much colder temperatures are forecast for Saturday.
