Some 80km gusts this morning and monsoon-like rain! I didn’t catch the crazy wind gusts on video, but it woke me up out of a dead sleep and shook my house!

Tomorrow looks quite windy for the greater Sooke area, 70-80km/h gusts. Wonder if we will see our first wind warning of the season?

The other models have been increasing wind gust values over the past few days. Icon is generally very accurate for Sooke (for whatever reason), but can also make some big mistakes. We are going to be at the Sooke Winter Market and we will definitely be weighing down our tent extra heavily!

How trustworthy is the Icon 4 days out? It’s giving lengthy windstorm on the South Island beginning Dec 6th. #sookeweather

Models seem to be tightening up. Consensus for Sooke is a Friday-morning wind storm with gusts anywhere from 70 to 90 km/h. Looks like Gusts will be a little tamer in Victoria, gusting up to 70 km/h in the early afternoon.
