70 to 90 km/h wind gusts expected to hit Victoria Wednesday morning

Get ready, an intense frontal system approaching the BC Coast will spread strong southeasterly winds to some inner south coast regions

Environment Canada has issued a wind warning for Greater Victoria, east Vancouver Island and the southern Gulf Islands.

Strong southeasterly winds are expected to arrive later Wednesday morning.

Wind gusts of 70 to 90 km/hr will affect the Victoria region near Haro Strait, southern sections of the Southern Gulf Islands, exposed coastal sections of the Sunshine Coast and east Vancouver Island.

The strongest winds are expected to subside through Wednesday evening.

Be careful out there…

The weather agency is warning people to be wary of loose branches and objects flying around.

Road conditions could also be potentially risky, so be prepared to adjust your driving patterns as well.
