The initial warning included Regina and Moose Jaw, as well as the RMs of Hillsborough, Baildon, Abernethy, Antler, Mount Pleasant and Argyle, Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) said on Friday afternoon. 

According to ECCC, an Alberta clipper system was the cause of the strong winds.

Sustained winds of 60 km/hr to 70 km/hr and gusts of 90 km/hr to 100 km/hr gusts were expected for the afternoon, but will ease later on Saturday night, the weather agency said.

Around noon on Saturday ECCC said gusts in Regina were 95 km/h and 81 km/h in Moose Jaw. 

Wind warnings are only issued when there is a significant risk of damage.
