‘Parade of storms’ expected to hit Nanaimo & Oceanside beginning Friday
NANAIMO — Expect a wet and windy next five to seven days across much of the central Island.
Environment Canada’s forecast for the region features almost exclusively rain icons, with a “parade of storms” set to hit beginning later on Friday, Nov. 8 and run through until at least mid next week, according to meteorologist Lisa Erven.
She said relatively stable conditions this week will subside.
“We had a nice ridge of high pressure over southern B.C. and that deflected weather systems to the north coast and northern Interior of the province, now that ridge has collapsed and opened the door to a parade of storms.”
