HAIDA — A wind warning has been issued for parts of British Columbia’s north coast, with gusts of 110 kilometres an hour expected at Haida Gwaii today.

The warning from Environment Canada comes as a strong frontal system tracks across the region, and the weather forecaster says some wind damage is possible.

Environment Canada says residents on Haida Gwaii should secure loose objects and expect possible disruption to utilities, transportation and other services.

The winds are expected to subside by evening.

Meanwhile, Environment Canada has also issued a warning of extended snowfalls for a stretch of highway linking the Alaskan Panhandle through northwestern B.C. into the Yukon.
