Summary
Powerful wind storm to strike the BC coast Thursday. A powerful low pressure system in the Gulf of Alaska will send an intense cold front barrelling toward the BC coast tonight. This rapidly moving storm will provide a few hours of increasingly strong southeast winds as it approaches, followed by a wind shift and a few hours of rapidly diminishing westerly winds after it passes. The strongest winds will occur after midnight on the North and Central Coasts including Haida Gwaii, Prince Rupert and Bella Bella.
On the South Coast including Vancouver, Victoria, and Nanaimo, the strongest winds will occur Thursday morning. Very heavy rain will accompany this system with total rainfalls between 50 and 100 millimetres likely.
Rain from the storm may linger over Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley Friday, boosting rainfall totals above 100 millimetres.
