These winds are forecasted to develop this evening over Greater Victoria, mainly in areas near the Juan de Fuca Strait.

Officials warn these strong winds can cause damage and toss around loose objects or cause tree branches to break.

The winds are expected to ease by early Friday morning as the trailing cold front moves further inland.
