The Canadian Press, 07 Dec, 2015 01:25 PM

VANCOUVER — Residents on British Columbia's South Coast will have little opportunity to dry off after a recent spate of wet weather.

A second Pacific storm is bearing down on the region.

Up to 50 millimetres of rain is expected for both Howe Sound and Metro Vancouver's North Shore.

The downpour is forecast to last until Monday morning.

Environment Canada has also issued wind warnings for much of southern Vancouver Island.

The national weather agency is predicting southeast winds of up to 80 kilometres an hour to buffet the region.
