The Kingston region is bracing for another round of high-speed winds Thursday as Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for Kingston, Napanee and Picton.

The weather agency says a Colorado low moving through the area will be capable of producing “strong southwesterly winds gusting between 70 and 80 km/h.”

Environment Canada warns that service outages are possible and that the high winds expected Thursday afternoon and evening can move loose objects or cause tree branches to break.
