Extreme winds are forecasted for much of southern Saskatchewan into this evening. If you can delay travel, please do. If you must travel, check the weather along your route before headed out. Saskatchewan RCMP recommend the following to drivers:

• Plan ahead and give yourself plenty of time to get to your destination. High winds may make your drive a bit longer than usual.
• Drive with two hands on the wheel – this will help you be prepared for sudden wind gusts that may move your vehicle.
• Be alert: watch out for debris on the roads.
• If possible, leave space between your vehicle and larger vehicles like semis and buses in adjacent lanes.
• Drive with your full attention and at a speed that is safe for current conditions.
• Ensure you are buckled up.
