Maximum wind gusts: 80 to 100 km/h.

Southwesterly winds will intensify further Thursday night and will likely reach warning criteria over the entire province Friday morning.

On Friday afternoon temperatures will rapidly fall below zero with the passage of a cold front. During this time, a brief period of freezing rain may occur before a transition to flurries. Standing water on untreated roads or walkways may quickly freeze leading to hazardous conditions.
