Environment Canada is warning coastal B.C. residents to prepare themselves for another bout of unseasonably cold weather.
People on Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast and in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley can expect an unpleasant night and day of gusting winds and heavier-than-usual rain from Tuesday night until late Wednesday.
Environment Canada says those on the west side of the island and in higher terrains of the Sunshine Coast, Howe Sound and the North Shore Mountains will be hit the hardest with 40 to 70 millimetres of rain. At 1,100 to 1,500 metres above sea level, residents will see snow instead.
The weather agency said it’s keeping its warning broad for now, as it’s unsure where exactly the heaviest of winds will strike.
“As the storm nears and wind speeds and total precipitation amounts become more certain, warnings may be issued,” it said.
