A strong northeasterly outflow is going to make its presence felt on the North Coast as the morning moves forward, with winds of up to 90 km/h expected ahead of an approaching low pressure system.
It's anticipated that the winds will begin to ease off in the region by this afternoon.
(Update: As part of a 9 PM update, environment Canada noted that the areas currently seeing the winds will be dealing with them until Thursday morning.)
The Wind Warning for the North Coast was issued earlier this morning by Environment Canada
The approaching system will provide for a change from snow to rain for the region over the next four days, with late morning and early afternoon today making for the transition period.
