Oh for Pete's sake, Regina, bundle up, eh?

### Your windshield is about to get hammered

This is Regina — yeah, we know what it sounds like, and we've heard your joke. Now sit down and listen.

You know that feeling when the wind picks up off Wascana Lake and you just *know* it's not going to be a nice day? Well, the weather services are confirming it. We've got a whole pile of "UNKNOWN" weather warnings coming our way. I'm telling you, it's like Mother Nature looked at our flat prairie and said, "Here, have some more wind and whatever else I feel like throwing at you."

What this means for you, eh? Well, historically, "UNKNOWN" warnings usually mean something significant is brewing. It could be anything from a sudden blizzard that closes down Albert Street, to a surprise hailstorm that makes your drive down Victoria Avenue a bit dicey. Keep an eye on the sky, and maybe hold off on any big plans that involve being outside without a proper parka. It's not a drill, folks.

Stay safe out there, Regina. We'll be keeping a close eye on these "UNKNOWN" warnings as they clarify.

This is Darlene Chicken-Lawson, live from the Queen City.

You know, the folks on the Morning Wire chat about all this and more. You should really check it out at mornings.live.
