fog
Near zero visibility in fog continues.
Where:
- Inland Vancouver Island - near Port Alberni
When:
Now through Tuesday afternoon.
Remark:
A ridge of high pressure over B.C. is trapping moisture near the surface creating an area of dense fog in the vicinity of Port Alberni. While visibility may improve in the afternoons, fog is expected to redevelop each night.
The ridge is forecast to weaken and incoming weather systems will flush out the fog by mid week.
###
Visibility will likely be suddenly reduced at times.

flood
Abnormal high tides combined with low pressure may produce minor/moderate coastal flooding.
Elevated water levels accompanied by strong winds and waves are expected, exceeding highest astronomical tides.
What:
Risk of coastal flooding due to storm surge coinciding with high tides.
When:
This weekend, with the highest risk of coastal flooding on Sunday.
Additional information:
The South Coast is entering a period of high astronomical tides as Earth reaches perihelion (Earth's closest point to the Sun). Also, a low pressure system will cross the region this weekend. This falling atmospheric pressure will help further elevate coastal water levels beyond predicted tides, thus increasing the risk of coastal flooding.
The exact track and timing of the low pressure centre remain uncertain at the moment. Wind strength will be contingent on the position of the low.
Moderate winds and storm surge can lead to washed up debris and erosion along coastal areas. Minor to moderate coastal flooding is likely along exposed shorelines, especially in the low-lying areas. There is a risk of locally significant flooding especially where onshore winds compound on the highest tides. Roads and walkways may be difficult to navigate due to flooding and/or debris, such as driftwood and rocks.
