On March 8, 2026, Environment Canada issued a wind warning for Sherwood Park, Alberta, as powerful gusts move through the area.
The weather agency expects strong northwest winds to reach speeds between 90 and 110 kilometres per hour throughout the day. These conditions are expected to last until the evening when the wind is forecast to die down.
Local residents are being told to prepare for potential power outages and damage to their homes. The high winds could break tree branches or damage structures like fences and roofs.
People should secure any loose objects outside their houses to prevent them from blowing away. Drivers of tall vehicles are also warned to be careful on the road, as the wind can make it difficult to steer.
