Environment Canada issues warnings for strong winds, heavy rainfall, and blowing snow across British Columbia.

The storm began impacting the region after midnight on Monday, with peak rainfall expected in the morning.
Rainfall totals are predicted to range from 40 to 100 millimetres, particularly affecting the North Shore and western Vancouver Island.
Wind gusts could reach up to 110 km/h in areas like Haida Gwaii and the Central Coast, raising concerns about power outages and damage.
