While sun is on the horizon, it looks as though Victoria may have one last storm before we see it.
Environment Canada has issued a wind warning for southern Vancouver Island, including the Greater Victoria area.
According to the weather agency, westerly winds of 50 km/h are expected, with wind gusts reaching 70 km/h, except near Juan De Fuca where 90 km/h winds are expected.
“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 winds are expected to abate after midnight as the front moves away from the region.
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 with temperatures rising to 6°C, however, that will quickly drop to -3°C overnight.
Environment Canada said wind warnings are issued when there is a significant risk of damaging winds.
