People on North Vancouver Island should get ready to batten down the hatches.

Environment Canada has issued a wind warning for the region, including Port Hardy.

Southeast winds of 90 km/h can be expected tonight over the exposed coastal sections of North Vancouver Island and Central Coast – coastal sections, as a frontal system approaches. 

Winds are expected to ease Wednesday morning.
