VANCOUVER — Coastal British Columbia is experiencing its first fall storm of the season and while significant winds and rainfall are typical for the area, an extended drought has created conditions that are"more out of the ordinary," says an Environment Canada meteorologist.It leaves the potential for more fallen trees or branches, setting off power outages and the potential for injury or damage, she said.
Northern Vancouver Island and the central coast are warned to expect winds into the evening that should ease overnight, while winds of up to 110 km/h are expected on the east side of Haida Gwaii across Hecate Strait before easing Tuesday. High streamflow advisories have also been posted for most of southwestern B.C. in anticipation of up to 150 millimetres of rain on parts of Vancouver Island and in the mountains. The advisory, issued Friday, said most of the rivers and streams in the area have had extremely low flows after months of drought.
"Every bit helps," she said of rain in the fire zones."We're not expecting the strong winds though, so that's a positive."
