It\u2019s time to batten down the hatches and bring in the patio furniture because high winds are set to blow into Metro Vancouver starting today.<\/p>\n

Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC)\u00a0 has issued a wind warning for parts of Metro Vancouver, calling for gusts up to 90 km\/h.<\/p>\n

It joins an earlier rainfall warning for the region<\/a> that was issued due to the \u201cback-to-back low pressure systems: that hit B.C.\u2019s South Coast during mid-week.<\/p>\n

\u201cStrong\u00a0winds that may cause damage are expected,\u201d said ECCC in its alert. \u201cA strong low-pressure system will impact coastal B.C. this afternoon, generating very strong southeasterly winds of 70 km\/h gusting to 90.<\/p>\n

\u201cWinds\u00a0will ease below\u00a0warning criteria early this evening but will remain gusty out of the southwest until Friday morning.\u201d<\/p>\n

ECCC also advised residents in southwestern Metro Vancouver, including Richmond and Delta, to secure loose objects.<\/p>\n

It also warned that local utility outages and disruptions to services and travel are possible.<\/p>\n

ECCC also issued a coastal flooding statement for parts of the Greater Victoria Coastline as well as the Southern Gulf Islands due to a \u201cstorm surge.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cElevated ocean water levels accompanied by significant winds and waves are expected, possibly exceeding highest astronomical tide,\u201d the alert stated.<\/p>\n

There is clearing on the horizon, with a mix of sun and clouds in the weather outlook for Saturday.<\/p>\n

However, you\u2019ll want to bundle up in the evening as overnight lows will dip to 4\u02daC on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n
