The national weather agency said strong southerly winds, gusting up to 90 km/h, will develop ahead of a cold front Wednesday afternoon. Winds are expected to ease Wednesday evening or overnight with the passage of the front.

We're reminded that stronger wind gusts will be possible in showers or thunderstorms.
