Another wind storm tonight, less intense than the last one. When: Tonight. Where: East Vancouver Island - Campbell River to Nanoose Bay, Sunshine Coast - Saltery Bay to Powell River What: Winds southeast 70 km/h gusting to 90. Additional Information: Another fall storm is forecast to impact the south coast tonight. A low pressure system centred west of Vancouver Island will generate peak southeast winds of 70 km/h gusting to 90 through the northern Strait of Georgia tonight. Southeasterly winds will increase early this evening, with peak wind speeds expected tonight. Strong winds will ease below warning overnight and remain blustery on Saturday. While this low is not as intense as the major storm that affected the area on Tuesday and Wednesday, and peak wind speeds are forecast to be generally lower, the strong winds may still cause damage and disruptions, and slow down clean up efforts. ### Damage to buildings, such as to roof shingles and windows, may occur. Loose objects may be tossed by the wind and cause injury or damage. High winds may result in power outages and fallen tree branches. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to BCstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports using #BCStorm.
