ESTEVAN - The latest weather advisory for southeast Saskatchewan is a wind warning.
Environment Canada issued the warning early Monday, saying severe wind gusts of 90 kilometres an hour are expected for Monday night and Tuesday morning. The Estevan, Weyburn and Carlyle areas are among those affected.
A powerful Colorado low will affect the region over the next two days. Northerly winds will begin to strengthen Monday afternoon and reach 60 km/h, gusting to 90 km/h late this evening.
The strong winds will continue through the overnight hours and into Tuesday morning.
Winds will diminish Tuesday afternoon as the low moves off into northwestern Ontario.
Damage to buildings, such as to roof shingles and windows, may occur. Loose objects may be tossed by the wind and cause injury or damage. High winds may result in power outages and fallen tree branches. Motorists, especially in high profile vehicles, may expect hazardous driving conditions on highways subject to strong cross winds.
