Environment Canada has issued a strong wind warning for the northern region of Vancouver Island.
In a weather alert posted by Environment Canada, the agency suggests that strong winds are expected to hit the Island on Monday evening.
Environment Canada says a full-frontal system will hit Vancouver Island’s coast, bringing winds of 80 to 100 km/h.
The system is expected to develop over Haida Gwaii, the central coast and the areas of Port Hardy, Port McNeil and Port Alice.
These strong winds will ease before Tuesday morning as the frontal system passes.
“Loose objects may be tossed by the wind and cause injury or damage. Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions due to high winds,” reads a statement from Environment Canada.
Residents of Haida Gwaii and northern Vancouver Island can monitor power outages by visiting BC Hydro’s outage map.
