Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for strong winds in the coastal areas along the Straight of Georgia, including Metro Vancouver.
The forecast says a cold front sweeping through the south coast today will generate gusts up to 70 kilometres an hour.
Winds are expected to develop in the late afternoon and continue through the night before easing early tomorrow morning.
The areas that could potentially be impacted by the high winds include Vancouver, West Vancouver, North Vancouver, Richmond, Delta, Burnaby and New Westminster.
