February 2021 Forecasts and Discussions

[Bonovox]

Not much south of the Fraser yet. At least over the SW sections.

[Storm]

First system looks to take forever to saturate the airmass but drops some snow but scours out low level cold. 2nd brings warm air aloft, quickly warms up and transitions to rain fairly quickly. hence lower snow totals.

Worry about that later.

Snowing nicely in West Vancouver. Huh.

Western areas look to do well in this pattern. Fraser outflow seems to be eating those showers for a midmorning snack by the time they get much further south or east.

Probably has potential to affect Vic too

Questionable how far south that thing travels along the coast. Trough isn’t digging south that well but still potential

Victoria 1 - Vancouver 0.

Are we gonna have at least 10 cm here in PoCo ?

Based on the last three winters it could end up being

Victoria 3 - Vancouver 0

It appears that there are some cells approaching the airport area now. Hopefully you see something soon!

I wonder if this Low will intensify throughout the day...dumping much more than forecast here and south Island. Its looking good imo.

It is sending clouds in, as the arctic air trickle out. Collision over our area. Score!

If so, will be a battle between the moisture and dry outflow that wants to eat it up.

[Typeing3]

Late Friday/Saturday system will trend north and drop 20-40cm across the lower mainland. C'MON!

I'm not sure if this was posted earlier, sorry if it has been.

There is an Arctic Outflow Warning for Metro Vancouver.

Metro Vancouver - northeast including Coquitlam and Maple Ridge
Metro Vancouver - southeast including Surrey and Langley
Metro Vancouver - southwest including Richmond and Delta

Wind chill values ranging from minus 15 to minus 25 expected tonight.

Rising surface pressures over the BC interior will continue to drive arctic air through mainland valleys and inlets this week. Beginning tonight, frigid temperatures and stronger outflow winds are expected.

Temperatures will begin to rebound during the latter half of this week.

Minimize exposed skin with hats, scarves and mittens or gloves. Ensure that shelter is provided for pets and outdoor animals.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to BCstorm@canada.ca or tweet reports using #BCStorm.

Patches of blue breaking through and the heaviest flurry of the day so far.
