Bomb cyclone forecast to impact British Columbia this week

theweathernetwork.com

A strong storm is expected to develop west of Vancouver Island late Tuesday, likely becoming a bomb cyclone. This system may cause significant travel disruptions and power outages across British Columbia. The storm will remain offshore, reducing its direct impact on land. However, intense winds and heavy rain are anticipated, particularly from Tuesday into Wednesday. The storm's development is influenced by a high-pressure system in Alberta, which is expected to enhance wind speeds. This situation is reminiscent of a similar storm that affected the Pacific Northwest in October 2021.
