I am not aware of any published warnings with that level of detail for CYYT.


It is a very windy location, that is for certain, particularly in the winter. Here is our METAR at the moment for instance:


METAR CYYT 081300Z 20030G42KT 15SM -RA SCT040 OVC076 05/04 A2987 RMK
SC3AC5 SLP121=



I expect approaches to 29 would be similarly challenging with winds over 40 knots given the terrain on short final. I fly a jet ranger from a private pad in those hills just short final on 29 and we watch the winds very carefully indeed.
