Synopsis

Technical Marine Synopsis

Issued 9:30 PM PST 1 February 2025 Tonight and Sunday At 9:30 p.m. PST tonight low 1006 mb located over the Central Coast.
By 10:30 a.m. PST Sunday quasi-stationary low 1004 mb located over
western Vancouver Island.

Marine Weather Statement

Issued 9:22 PM PST 1 February 2025 A low pressure centre over the Central Coast will slowly track toward
Vancouver Island tonight, where it will become mainly stationary for
Sunday and Sunday night. Northerly gales will persist over majority
of the northern and offshore waters.

Meanwhile, an Arctic airmass will continue to push down into Northern
BC and the Prairies through the beginning of the week.
As the low remains offshore and the Arctic air pushes south, gale to
storm force Arctic outflow winds will continue along the mainland
coast continuing through at least Tuesday. The incoming Arctic
airmass will also give freezing spray in these outflow winds.

There is a risk of snow squalls and waterspouts across many areas.
Please see the marine weather advisory in effect for more details.
