Service Notice - September 2024: The Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) CAP Service undergoes changes from time to time as the business of alerting evolves. For Fall 2024, changes are expected to include... 1) location adjustments to the new Coastal Flooding Warning Program that has been implemented back in Spring 2024, 2) Marine Warning Program and Hurricane Warning Program (for tropical cyclone information statements only) will start to use water zone splits, 3) new parameters in CAP will be created to represent the weather event's start time and the weather event's end time, 4) ECCC's initiative to upgrade the presentation of alerts into a risk-colour tiered structure is in progress. Existing elements’ values will be updated and new parameters will be added in a future release, and 5) other minor improvements and corrections. For more information on these changes: https://comm.collab.science.gc.ca/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/dd_info@comm.collab.science.gc.ca/ | Notification de service - septembre 2024: Le service du PAC d’Environnement et Changement climatique Canada (ECCC) subit périodiquement des changements à mesure que le système d’alerte évolue. Pour l’automne 2024, il y aura des changements incluant... 1) des ajustements aux zones du nouveau programme d’avertissement d’inondations côtières qui a été mis en œuvre au printemps 2024, 2) le programme d’avertissement marine et le programme d’avertissement des ouragans (seulement pour le bulletin d'information sur les cyclones tropicaux) commenceront à utiliser des divisions de zones maritimes, 3) de nouveaux paramètres seront créés dans le PAC pour représenter l'heure de début et l'heure de fin de l'événement météorologique, 4) l'initiative d'ECCC visant à améliorer la présentation des alertes en les classant selon une structure de niveaux de risque par couleur est en cours. Les valeurs des éléments existants seront mises à jour et de nouveaux paramètres seront ajoutés dans une prochaine version, et 5) d’autres améliorations et corrections mineures.

Elevated ocean water levels accompanied by significant wind and waves are expected, likely exceeding highest astronomical tide. Where: Coastal sections of Vancouver Island, Sunshine Coast, Southern Gulf Islands and Metro Vancouver, southern sections of Howe Sound near Bowen Island. When: Wednesday near high tide High Tide: Late Wednesday morning What: Minor coastal flooding due to storm surge and high tide Hazards: - Minor flooding near coastal areas to due waves crashing onshore - Powerful waves can roll logs and heavy debris along beaches Additional Information: Storm surge from gale to storm force southeast winds combined with seasonably high tide will produce elevated water levels for areas near the water across the south coast on Wednesday. Coastal flooding is possible along exposed shorelines, especially in low-lying areas. ### Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to BCstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports using #BCStorm.

Very windy conditions are expected. When: This afternoon to late Wednesday with peak wind speeds expected tonight and Wednesday morning. Where: East Vancouver Island, Sunshine Coast, Greater Victoria, Southern Gulf Islands, Inland Vancouver Island. Wind: Easterly gusting to 90-100 km/h. Remarks: A significant fall storm is set to impact Vancouver Island beginning today. A rapidly deepening low pressure system will arrive approximately 400 km southwest of Vancouver Island by late this afternoon. This low is forecast to then curl northwards on Wednesday towards the Central Coast, remaining offshore through the period. Easterly winds will increase through the afternoon today, with peak wind speeds expected for most areas tonight. Strong southeasterly winds will continue Wednesday morning but should ease late in the day. East-to-west inland valleys can expect very strong winds as well. Some areas can also expect heavy rain at times during this event, but winds will remain the primary concern. For emergency preparedness tips visit Safety Canada at: https://www.getprepared.gc.ca/index-en.aspx ### Damage to buildings, such as to roof shingles and windows, may occur. Loose objects may be tossed by the wind and cause injury or damage. High winds may result in power outages and fallen tree branches. Motorists, especially in high profile vehicles, may expect hazardous driving conditions on highways subject to strong cross winds.
