A weather alert for Greater Victoria is promising a blustery end to the week.

Issued shortly before 4 p.m. Thursday, Environment Canada said southeast winds of 70 km/h are expected Friday morning over the Southern Gulf Islands and sections of Greater Victoria near Haro Strait.

The alert warned that high winds may toss loose objects or cause tree branches to break, before easing near noon.
