Even though the sun is visible, it seems like Victoria has one more storm before it sets.
Environment Canada has issued an advisory about wind conditions for southern Vancouver Island, as well as the Greater Victoria area.
According to the weather bureau, westerly winds will reach 50 km/h with wind gusts reaching 70km/h. This is except for Juan De Fuca, which has winds up to 90 km/h.
“A Pacific frontal system will move across the BC South Coast today. In the wake of the front, west winds will rise to 50 km/h gusting to 70 except 90 near Juan De Fuca late this afternoon,” warned the weather alert.
The front is moving away from the region, so the winds should abate after midnight.
Sunday’s weather is expected to be a hit or miss day with a 30 percent chance of showers late in the afternoon. Family Day should see clear skies and temperatures of 6C. However, overnight temperatures will plummet to -3C.
Environment Canada stated that wind warnings are issued when there’s a high risk of damaging winds.
