Tri-City communities should expect strong winds to start next week.
Environment Canada issued a special weather statement before 5 p.m. today (Nov. 6) for parts of Metro Vancouver gusts of up to 70 km/h are expected.
This includes Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Anmore and Belcarra.
Meterologists explain a deep low will approach the north tip of Vancouver Island Monday night (Nov. 8) and could push winds southeast to the mainland.
"There remains some uncertainty as to the exact strength of these winds as some weather prediction models are suggesting the potential for a secondary low pressure system to cross Vancouver Island, south of the main low pressure system," Environment Canada's statement reads.
"In this scenario, the winds will be at their strongest and warning level criteria will be met.
"If, however, the secondary low pressure system moves into Washington State or through Juan de Fuca Strait, the southeast winds will remain below warning criteria but it will still be a blustery morning."
The winds are predicted to last until noon on Tuesday (Nov. 9).
