PHOTOS/POLL: Wind damage cleanup starts around PA
The record-breaking temperatures and high winds in Prince Albert led to some problems on the roads.
Wind speeds on Wednesday morning were more than 100 kilometres per hour.
“It should die down in the early evening or late afternoon,” CKBI meteorologist Henri Dagenais said. “And then the wind should become around 50 kilometres an hour.”
He said cold air from the Arctic and warm air from the Pacific built a “super low” in the Mackenzie Valley. From there, the “super low” started to move southeastward, and over this region, he added. Environment Canada has issued a wind warning for the Prince Albert area.
