British Columbia's south coast is bracing for another round of stormy weather.
Environment Canada has issued a rainfall warning for Metro Vancouver's North Shore as well as Howe Sound, with precipitation expected to reach up to 70 millimetres.
The agency also says strong winds of up to 80 km/h are expected in the late afternoon in eastern parts of Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, while gusts could reach 90 km/h near Hope and in Greater Victoria.
Meanwhile, heavy snow is expected in the mountainous regions north and east of Metro Vancouver, with warnings for 15 centimetres in the Whistler and Pemberton region and up to 40 centimetres on the Coquihalla Highway from Hope to Merritt.
It comes days after a wind storm knocked out power for thousands and a week after rain triggered massive flooding in the Fraser Valley.
At one point 120,000 customers in southern B.C. were without power, although BC Hydro says crews have been making progress and the vast majority had their electricity restored by this morning.
Environment Canada says winds peaked in the last 24 hours at Race Rock in the south Vancouver Island region at 119 km/h, and the heaviest rain was reported in Coquitlam at more than 70 millimetres.
