Marine Weather Statement
Issued 9:22 PM PST 1 February 2025 A low pressure centre over the Central Coast will slowly track towardVancouver 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.
