Special Weather Statement for:
Metro Vancouver
Greater Victoria
Fraser valley
Howe Sound
Whistler
southern Gulf islands
west Vancouver Island
inland Vancouver Island.
Rain and wind tonight.
Discussion- A typical October low pressure system will cross the BC north coast
tonight. The path of the low has prompted wind warnings for most
areas on the outer coastline north of and including North Vancouver
Island.
Tropical Storm Ana weakened and was absorbed into this system over
the Pacific. Despite the tropical influence, this storm is not as
powerful as the system that knocked out the power throughout the
lower Mainland last week.
The fast-moving cold front accompanying this low will cross the South
Coast tonight. Wind warnings for sustained or steady winds to 70 km/h
have been issued for East Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast.
Wind gusts can be 25 percent higher than the steady wind forecast.
The Pacific storm prediction centre does not expect to extend the
wind warning to any other public forecast regions. Rainfall from this
system will not reach the rainfall warning criteria in any region.
However, given the tropical influence on the storm, rainfall may be
intense at times...approaching 5 to 10 mm per hour and as high as 20
mm per hour across the mountain peaks.
The public is advised to monitor future forecasts and warnings as
warnings may be required or extended.
