I was just noticing some strong echoes near Abby on the radar and came here to see if there were any thunder or lightning reports from there.

Just a few sprinkles here, no thunder.
It's called clown range for a reason.

No sign of any thunder or lightning; dry, windy, and cloudy in east Coquitlam. Still looks like there's some smoke mixed in aloft too.

Whatever the GFS deterministic is showing divide it by 2 and that will be the totals. Models always over-do rainfall totals here.

Right? In Toronto, I was literally sitting on a balcony for 4 hours straight watching non-stop lightning.

That's what getting hammered should be haha
