Winds are forecast to gust to 90 km/h, at times, Sunday.

Last Sunday, it was high wind chill values for the Peace Country.

This weekend, however, it will simply be high winds.

Environment Canada has issued a wind warning for the B.C. Peace extending east into Alberta.

The warning covers Fort St. John, Dawson Creek, and Chetwynd on the B.C. side and Grande Prairie, Peace River, and Slave Lake in Alberta.

The warning doesn't cover the Williston or Fort Nelson regions.

Forecasters are calling for strong winds of 70 km/h beginning early Sunday and gusting, at times, to 90 km/h throughout the day.

"Loose objects may be tossed by the wind and cause injury or damage. High winds may toss loose objects or cause tree branches to break," states the warning.

Gusty winds will remain in place at least through Monday, but ease somewhat Sunday night to 40 km/h with gusts to 60 km/h.
