Environment Canada warns of strong winds hitting Metro Vancouver, Howe Sound, and Inland Vancouver Island on Nov. 8 and Nov. 9, following storms over the weekend.

In the Metro Vancouver region, “a rapidly deepening weather system” will generate strong southeast winds starting the night of Nov. 8, with southeast winds “peaking up to 50 km/h, gusting to 70” during the overnight hours, Environment Canada said in a statement.
