MARINE WEATHER STATEMENT FOR THE PACIFIC WATERS ISSUED BY ENVIRONMENT
CANADA AT 3:52 P.M. PDT SATURDAY 14 MARCH 2026.

An intensifying warm front will bring southeast gale to storm force
winds over the offshore waters overnight and spread to northern and
central waters through Sunday. Hurricane force southeasterlies will
develop from the headlands of Vancouver Island to Hecate Strait
Sunday afternoon. Southeast gales will also develop over northern
Strait of Georgia Sunday afternoon.

As the warm front passes, winds will veer to southwest gales Sunday
afternoon over the offshore waters and Sunday night over the central
waters. The northern waters will see winds diminish to strong
westerlies in the wake of the warm front.

A quasi-stationary front will set up early next week over the central
waters with southwesterly gales over southern waters and strong
westerlies over northern waters.
