People in the Battlefords area were warned Saturday night of the possibility of damaging wind gusts.

A wind warning, which had earlier been effect in the Kindersley-Rosetown-Biggar-Wilkie-Macklin region was reissued Saturday at around 9 p.m. and the Battlefords area was now included. The affected region also includes St. Walburg, Maidstone, Unity, and other areas in between.

“Damage to buildings, such as to roof shingles and windows, may occur,” at those speeds, the advisory said.
