Environment Canada issued a wind warning for Moncton and Southeast New Brunswick, saying winds up to 100 kilometres per hour could cause damage to windows or roof shingles.
They are also warning people to pay attention as loose objects might be picked up by the wind and cause injury or damage.
These sharp gusts of wind are expected to diminish this afternoon.
