Residents in Camrose County, Alberta, are being told to prepare for strong winds that could cause property damage and power outages throughout the day on March 8, 2026.

According to Environment Canada, the warning was issued early Sunday morning for areas near Camrose and Bittern Lake. Strong northwest winds are expected to reach speeds between 90 and 110 kilometres per hour before they start to weaken later in the evening.

The high winds could lead to local utility outages and may push around high-sided vehicles on the road. There is also a risk of damage to roofs, fences, and tree branches during the windstorm.

People living in the area are encouraged to secure loose outdoor items like patio furniture or garbage cans. Official weather monitors suggest staying updated on local conditions until the winds calm down tonight.
