Environment Canada has issued a Special Weather Statement for Greater Victoria, East Vancouver Island and the Southern Gulf Islands.
Unlike last weekend, the wind will be the main reason for concern overnight on Friday and into Saturday morning.
A Pacific low pressure system will begin to push into Vancouver Island Friday evening.
Strong southeast winds of near 60 gusting to 80 km/h will develop late Friday evening that would be high enough for tree branches to break and result in power outages.
