Issued 3:46 AM PST 22 December 2025 An Arctic ridge over the BC Interior is producing gale to storm force

northeasterly winds over the northern sections of Bowie. These winds
will weaken to moderate to strong northerly this evening.

Queen Charlotte Sound in the afternoon. Gale force southeast winds
will develop over southern waters ahead of the low then shift to
