Powerful storm expected to bring high winds and heavy rain to British Columbia
A powerful storm is expected to develop off the coast of British Columbia by Tuesday, potentially classified as a bomb cyclone. This system will remain offshore but will bring high winds and heavy precipitation to the region. Winds are forecasted to reach 90-100 km/h along the coast, with gusts of 50-70 km/h in the Lower Mainland. Power outages and ferry delays are likely as the storm approaches, with impacts expected to last into Wednesday. Rainfall could exceed 100 mm in some areas, particularly near Tofino, while heavy snow is anticipated in alpine regions. Coastal flooding may occur due to elevated tides coinciding with the storm's peak.
