Wind warning posted for our local area. Hi-Rez models show some 70 km gusts for this afternoon and we’re definitely seeing a pick up out here. Keep an eye out for fallen branches and debris, just in case the storm ends up stronger than anticipated.

Interesting. Models have calmed right down for our Monday storm. Good news I guess. I’m seeing Our Lady Peace tomorrow night in Victoria!

Looking like a powerful wind storm is on its way for Monday-Tuesday. Models showing prolonged periods of over 100Km/h gusts for Sooke. Will provide updates as we approach.

Definitely looks like between Saturday and Monday, Sooke will be getting a disruptive amount of snow! Anyone wanna guess which of the models is telling the truth? 🤣

Special weather statement issued for Sooke area regarding snow. Models are still sparring over exactly when this might occur so stay tuned!

This coming Saturday looks like there’s a chance of snow in the Sooke area, especially at higher elevations. As per usual, it is looking touch and go whether we receive rain or snow due to our low elevation and proximity to the water!

Everyone else is playing the lookahead game. Let's take a peek all the way to Friday, at wind projections for coastal areas of SW BC. Let's agree it's going to be a windy week on the west coast of Vancouver Island.

Potential bomb cyclone threatens severe winds over coastal sections northern and western Vancouver Island, Monday night. The storm will make landfall on northern Vancouver Island or the central coast in the early hours of Christmas Eve. Stay tuned for updates! #BCStorm #BombCylone

Carefully watching a powerful low approach the NW tip of Vancouver Island pre-dawn Christmas Eve. A low inside 130°W with this pressure normally spells pretty big trouble with power outages and damage for Vancouver Island. #BCStorm

Had a quick look, and all models I have access to seem to agree about 60 mm of rain for the Sooke area by Wednesday morning.

Category 2 atmospheric river in store for the BC south coast Tuesday and Tuesday night, with rainfall amounts up to 75 to 100 mm for parts of the region, over the course of 24 hours or less. Full forecast available on X! Link available below ⬇️ x.com/southcoastwx... #BCStorm #AtmosphericRiver

The streak of windstorms continues… (1/3🧵) #BCStorm The forecast is straightforward: if you live along the water, expect wind gusts of up to 100 km/h. The North Island will see much less impact compared to the recent bomb cyclone.

Wind and coastal flood warnings are in effect for the region around #Ucluelet and #Tofino on #VancouverIsland. Stay safe storm watchers. Should still be some good waves Saturday afternoon when the winds die down a bit.

#wawx #bcwx #orwx I am keeping a close eye on some windstorm potential this weekend as a strong low moves up north just off the coast. This morning's EURO model run shows a 984mb low going INTO the Olympic Peninsula with 50-70mph winds.

Some big waves and blustery weather ahead!

What in the cyclone Christmas party... This evening's EURO model has about SIX different storms 965mb or lower spinning around like they drank too much eggnog. The weather pattern 10 days out looks very variable. No confidence in any one solution, yet. #wawx #bcwx #orwx

Ridging has returned after a wet weekend, but it won’t last longer than several days. A SW storm track is anticipated to setup later this week, potentially bringing another wet, stormy weekend for the #BC south coast. There is currently a risk of low elevation wet snow for some as well.

Significant rainfall totals anticipated today through early Sunday. Parts of western Vancouver Island may receive up to 150 mm of rainfall, with up to 90 mm over the lower mainland and Fraser Valley, near the mountains. A rapid rise in streamflow levels is expected. #BCStorm #BCRain

The latest tsunami warning email from USGS indicates no further tsunami threat to the California coast, so there’s a large chance that the threat will also (or soon will) pass for BC.

The models are coming into agreement for a windy day in Sooke Dec 7th. High res models (HRDPS) showing a gusty day now as well. Icon has been consistently reducing wind values over the last few days but still shows 70-80km/h gusts throughout the day.

Most of the stratus/strato Cu looks to be pushed out into the middle of the Strait due outflow so we're left w/some cirrus streaming over the top of the upr ridge to the west. So more optimistic now about a nice day coming up #YVR

Models seem to be tightening up. Consensus for Sooke is a Friday-morning wind storm with gusts anywhere from 70 to 90 km/h. Looks like Gusts will be a little tamer in Victoria, gusting up to 70 km/h in the early afternoon.
