Warnings span Victoria area, eastern Vancouver Island, southern Metro Vancouver and Haida Gwaii
Coastal British Columbia will see strong winds overnight with gusts that could reach speeds of between 90 and 110 kilometres per hour.
The warnings come a week after an atmospheric river weather system drenched B.C.’s coast, triggering a mudslide and local flooding that killed at least three people. “There are no anticipated widespread flood hazards at this time, but saturated ground conditions in low-lying areas could lead to reduced drainage and faster run-off,” the statement said.
Ian MacDonald, with Coquitlam Search and Rescue, said the team is stepping up its search to find 59-year-old Robert Belding after a witness reported seeing him fall into the swollen Coquitlam River on Sunday while he tried to rescue a dog.
