Issued by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) Wednesday afternoon, the warning outlines wind gusts of up to 100 km/h.

The warning area extends from Lloydminster to Yorkton, all the way south to the U.S./Canada border.

Winds are expected to pick up late Thursday morning into Thursday afternoon.
