Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement about an area of low pressure that will deepen off the Washington coast on Thursday night.

The winds will ease on Friday night or early on Saturday.

Environment Canada said this low is not forecast to be as intense as the bomb cyclone that affected the area on Tuesday and Wednesday but strong winds could still cause some damage and disruptions.

Wind warnings may be issued closer to the storm arriving as there is still some uncertainty on the forecast depth and the low.
