Wind warnings that were issued for Vancouver Island this week have been reduced to special weather advisories, Environment Canada said Friday.
Strong southeast winds are expected to persist in Greater Victoria, East Vancouver Island, West Vancouver Island and North Vancouver Island starting Friday afternoon through Saturday morning.
In Greater Victoria and East Vancouver Island, winds between 50 km/h and 70 km/h are expected, with stronger winds occurring in exposed coastal areas near the Strait of Georgia.Even stronger winds will sweep across North Vancouver Island, where gusts are expected to reach 80 to 100 km/h starting Friday afternoon.
The strong winds are a result of a low pressure system that developed offshore, according to Environment Canada."Winds will ease Saturday morning for most areas and by Saturday afternoon for Haida Gwaii." Environment Canada predicts periods of strong winds to pop up on Sunday and Monday as well due to the storm pattern.
The weather office warns that loose objects and roof shingles may get picked up in the wind, and residents should be prepared for potential power outages and falling tree branches.
