After a brief reprieve, another winter storm is heading for B.C.'s South Coast.

Wind and rain warnings are back in effect for much of Vancouver Island, Metro Vancouver, Howe Sound and the Fraser Valley.

• Public weather alerts for B.C.

Environment Canada says the Island will see gusts of up to 80 km/h andthemainland areas can expect another 60 millimetres of rain.

The downpours are expected to ease off again overnight.

A similar calibre storm caused flooding, road closures, traffic jams and hours-long SkyTrainshutdowns around theVancouver area on Tuesday.

On Vancouver Island, heavy rain combined with overflowing stormwater and wastewater along some shorelines in Greater Victoria to the point where locals were asked to avoid going into the water in Oak Bay, Saanich and Esquimalt due to potential contamination.
