“A vigorous cold front is crossing the southern BC interior early this evening,” the statement said. “As the cold front moves across, southerly winds are shifting to strong and gusty westerly winds up to 80 km/h.”

The statement says the winds will ease off later in the evening as the cold front moves out of the region.
