While temperatures remain balmy for mid-to-late October, you will want to strap down your hats for the next 36 hours.

Environment Canada has issued a wind warning for the southern half of the province, from Prince Albert down to the US border.

Robyn Dyck, a meteorologist with Environment Canada, says that a system is moving in with gusting winds behind it.

"Pretty strong winds that will develop with a tight pressure grading associated with that low-pressure system," she explained. "We could have some gusts up to 70, and possibly even up to 90 kilometres."

Dyck says that a warning is issued 12 to 18 hours before it is expected, and when the wind is anticipated to reach between 70 and 90 kilometres.

Although there is no threat for reduced visibility on highways like we might see in the winter when windy, she does note that you will want to pack up anything left lying around in the yard.

"If you still have lawn chairs out, lawn furniture out, I would be putting that away. Being fall, if you still have leaves on the trees, that could bring down some big branches and that sort of thing," Dyck said. "Being overnight, you may not even notice, but you could wake up to a lot of branches and leaves around."

The wind will slowly pick-up throughout Tuesday, and is expected to reach its peak during the overnight hours heading into Wednesday.

As we hit Wednesday night, the wind will begin to die down and return to lesser levels for Thursday and moving into the weekend.

Temperatures will remain above normal for the most part, with Wednesday being the oddball day for the week, as cooler air rolls through along with the windy front.

Tuesday's forecasted high is 19 degrees, with a drop to 10 for Wednesday, and a likely return to near 20 degrees for Thursday and Friday.
