Strong winds in store for Howe Sound

Staff report
October 12, 2020 3:54pm

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for Howe Sound.

Widespread, strong and gusty winds can be expected on Tuesday.

Areas of Metro Vancouver near the Strait of Georgia, Victoria, and the Gulf Islands will see winds rising to southeast 30 to 50 km/h gusting to 70 km/h overnight.

The second windy wallop comes on Tuesday as winds abruptly transition from southeasterly to strong and gusty westerlies.

Winds will rise to 50 to 70 km/h Tuesday morning for Vancouver Island and spread to the mainland Tuesday afternoon.

Widespread higher gusts are possible.

The strong winds will be widespread, and the exact location of the strongest winds depends on the track and depth of the low.

Broken tree limbs and power outages are possible.

Winds are expected to ease through Tuesday evening.

To report severe weather, send an email to BCstorm@canada.ca or tweet reports using #BCStorm.
