Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure’s Hydrologic Forecast Centre announced a wind warning for portions of southern and central Manitoba covering the period of September 14 through September 15, 2026. The advisory cites a forecast of sustained breezes of 45 to 60 kilometres per hour on Monday, followed by an increase to average speeds of 65 to 75 kilometres per hour early on Tuesday. In addition to the sustained flow, gusts are expected to reach between 85 and 95 kilometres per hour during the same timeframe.
The warning, issued by the province’s hydrologic forecast centre, notes that the strong wind conditions are projected to affect the region through Tuesday. Residents and travelers in the affected areas are advised to remain alert to the possibility of rapid changes in wind speed, which could impact outdoor activities, road travel, and the stability of unsecured objects. The centre’s forecast does not include any immediate safety directives, but it highlights the potential for the higher wind speeds to create hazardous conditions, particularly for high-profile vehicles and structures sensitive to strong gusts.
Authorities have not reported any incidents related to the warning at the time of issuance. The forecast centre will continue to monitor atmospheric conditions and may update the advisory if the situation evolves. Motorists are encouraged to check road conditions before traveling and to secure any loose items that could become airborne. The warning remains in effect until the end of Tuesday, after which wind speeds are expected to return to normal levels, according to the latest outlook from the Hydrologic Forecast Centre.
