A strong ridge of high pressure has built over northern BC and is expanding southwards.
Northerly wind has increased during the night with gusts upwards of 70 km/h possible through many of the valleys in the southern interior today. Winds will likely peak this morning, however gusty conditions may prevail throughout the day.
While wind gusts of this magnitude are not out of the ordinary, people out enjoying the waterways or campgrounds this Labour Day weekend should be prepared for any sudden increases in wind.
