VANCOUVER — Residents of parts of the British Columbia coast are again bracing for high winds, with gusts forecasted to reach 110 km/h in some areas.
Environment Canada says a wind warning has been issued in parts of B.C.'s central coast including Bella Bella and Klemtu.
The forecast calls for high winds as a "vigorous frontal system" moves into the region, possibly damaging buildings and causing power outages.
A separate wind warning has also been issued for parts of the Howe Sound area just north of Metro 91Ô´´, where gusts are expected to reach 100 km/h.
The warning area covers a number of communities on the Sea to Sky Highway linking 91Ô´´ and Whistler, including Squamish, Britannia Beach and Lions Bay.
The latest warnings come just days after winds approaching 140 km/h were recorded on 91Ô´´ Island, while a severe windstorm last weekend led to a mudslide that killed at least one person in the Sea to Sky area.
