A special weather statement issued by Environment Canada says Metro Vancouver, Greater Victoria and the Fraser Valley could see strong thunderstorms with heavy downpours and wind gusts of up to 70 km/h Wednesday.

The weather office says there’s a “very small” chance of large hail for areas near the U.S. border such as Langley Township, Aldergrove and Abbotsford.
