Wind warning issued for coastal BC

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 16 Dec, 2024 02:00 PM
  • Wind warning issued for coastal BC

Environment Canada has issued a wind warning for northern coastal regions of B-C, including Prince Rupert and Portland Inlet.

It says a building ridge of high pressure over the Interior of B-C will push arctic air and strong winds through inlets and valleys starting tonight, with gusts up to 100 kilometres an hour expected.

The weather office says "warning level winds" will ease by tomorrow afternoon, but strong wind will persist until Wednesday.

The new system comes after another severe windstorm hit B-C's south coast on Saturday, killing at least two people, one woman who was hit by a tree in Surrey, while the body of one of two people missing in a mudslide near Lions Bay has been recovered.
