Following a weather front that blew in overnight, strong winds gusting between 90 km/h and 100 km/h expected to continue today.

Environment Canada says that these strong northwesterly winds are expected to ease early this evening. However, falling snow in combination with these winds may lead to poor visibility in the blowing snow.
