Batten down the hatches, Winnipeg. Environment Canada warns that wind gusts of 90 to 110 km/h are heading this way.
“Very strong wind gusts that may cause damage are expected or occurring,” Environment Canada said in a wind warning that’s issued only when there is a significant risk of wind causing damage. The strong gusts may toss loose objects, damage roof shingles and windows or cause tree branches to break, it said.
The severe winds across much of the province are the result of a very intense low pressure system tracking through northern Manitoba today, it said.
The winds will start to die down this afternoon as the low moves into Ontario, Environment Canada said. It’s asking Manitobans to report severe weather by sending an email to ec.storm.ec@canada.ca or tweet reports using #MBStorm.
