Residents across British Columbia are being told to hold on to their toques Saturday, as a series of Pacific storms make their way into the province.
Rain and snow will be in the mix, but forecasters say the biggest threat with these storms will be the powerful winds.
"Southeast winds from 70 to 100 km/h over the North Coast Saturday morning will spread to the South Coast late in the afternoon with the first storm," says Environment Canada. "Westerly winds from 60 to 80 km/h will develop behind the storm [Saturday] evening."

EC has issued wind warnings to that effect, including for Metro Vancouver and Greater Victoria. The agency says it will likely keep them in place into Sunday.
Meanwhile, snow will continue Saturday night through Sunday for the Interior, with Whistler seeing up to 60 cm of snowfall by Monday morning.
