With high winds gusting up to 80 km/h, this could be a Halloween weekend for the record books.
Environment Canada has released a special weather statement for the Sunshine Coast, with strong southeast winds expected to reach 60 km/h overnight with gusts up to 80.
A Pacific frontal system will begin to push onto the South Coast, from Gibsons to Earls Cove, this evening. The strong southeast winds will develop near midnight and then ease early Saturday morning.
The strongest winds are expected near the Strait of Georgia. These high winds are strong enough to cause tree branches to break and create possible power outages.
Over at Weatherhood, temperatures for today, Oct. 25, through Saturday and Sunday, are expected to reach highs of 12 with periods of rain.
