Forecasters are warning of the possibility of mudslides, downed tree limbs and power outages as a new “severe” storm approaches B.C.’s South Coast on Tuesday.

The Pacific frontal system is expected to arrive in the afternoon and continue into Wednesday, according to Environment and Climate Change Canada, which has issued a series of wind and rainfall warnings for Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and Vancouver Island.

Up to 90mm of rain is expected in parts of Metro Vancouver, including West Vancouver, North Vancouver, Coquitlam and Pitt Meadows, which could lead to flooding, rockfall and waterlogging on roads, the weather agency said.

The heaviest rainfall is expected to occur on the North Coast.

“Persistent rain will begin this afternoon and intensify during the evening hours,” read an alert issued at 5:27 a.m.

“Heavy rain on Wednesday will turn into moderate showers in the frontal passage, and will turn into light showers on Wednesday evening.”

Similar conditions could occur on Eastern Vancouver Island from Courtenay to Campbell River, according to Environment Canada.

Meanwhile, wind gusts of up to 110 km/h are expected in some areas such as Metro Vancouver, Greater Victoria and the Sunshine Coast.

“Loose objects can be blown by the wind and cause injury or damage. “High winds may cause power outages and tree branches to fall,” he warns.

“Be prepared to adjust your driving to changing road conditions.”

Another severe storm last week caused more than 230,000 power outages across the state and spawned a rare cyclone on the Sunshine Coast that toppled trees onto roads and highways.
