VANCOUVER — Environment Canada is warning about an intensifying storm that is expected to bring powerful winds to Vancouver Island and the British Columbia coast this week.

Matt MacDonald, the lead forecaster for the BC Wildfire Service, says models predict"explosive cyclogenesis," which is also known as a bomb cyclone, materializing Tuesday night.

MacDonald says in a social media post that B.C. coastal inlets could see"hurricane force" winds of more than 118 km/h and create waves up to nine metres off Washington and Oregon.
