A departing low over northern Bowie is generating southerly gale
force winds over northern and central waters early this morning.

A frontal system located near the western border of Explorer early

will develop across southern waters except southerly storm force near
the headlands of Vancouver Island. Southerly gales will be maintained
through this afternoon over northern and central waters. In the wake
of the frontal system, winds will veer to light moderate southwest
over southern waters and strong to gales southwest over northern and
central waters tonight.

On Sunday, a low pressure system will move into the offshore waters.
Winds accompanying this low will rise to southwest strong to gale
force over the offshore waters. There is uncertainty as to the exact
track of the low as it moves towards the coast at this time.
