Threats: Risk of thunderstorms. Gale force outflow winds exiting mainland inlets.
Locations: Strait of Georgia and areas in the vicinity of the mainland inlets.
Remarks: An upper level disturbance is forecast to cross the south coast on Friday morning. This disturbance will carry the risk of thunderstorms, capable of producing gusty winds for waters of the inner south coast.
