Heavy rain here tonight!

More snow for the local mountains by mid week. 19c for the central valley by weeks end.

[SouthSardiswx]

Oh darn so busy this evening did anyone see the lunar eclipse?:cryhard: l forgot to look.

[SouthSardiswx]

Big swathe of heat all across the southern US. 4 corners high is suppressed.

Though... all it takes is that ridge nudging northward for 3-5 days for a heatwave here. Add a decent amount of rain on the front or back end of that sometime in late month or early June and we could see notable flooding associated with the freshet due to the higher than average snowpack.

I saw that Tsweat, your correct it wouldn't take much to push north but with our current snow pack would be devastating for the freshet l would have to move in with Gumps.

[SouthSardiswx]

Should I....... move?

Where to the city of champions Bones?

[SouthSardiswx]

I know some may start getting a bit worried about possible drought conditions with the dry streak that starts today. Fear not my friends.

11:04 AM PDT Monday 16 May 2022
Special weather statement in effect for:

Metro Vancouver - central including the City of Vancouver Burnaby and New Westminster
Metro Vancouver - North Shore including West Vancouver and North Vancouver
Metro Vancouver - northeast including Coquitlam and Maple Ridge
Metro Vancouver - southeast including Surrey and Langley
Metro Vancouver - southwest including Richmond and Delta

Strong winds beginning Tuesday night for South Coast.

Locations: Vancouver Island, Sunshine Coast, Howe Sound, Whistler, Lower Mainland and the Fraser Valley.

Wind: Strong, gusty southeasterly winds switching to southwest on Wednesday.

Other hazards: 40 to 70 mm of precipitation for West Vancouver Island and higher terrain of the Sunshine Coast, Howe Sound, and North Shore Mountains.

Time span: Tuesday night through late Wednesday

Remarks: An unseasonably strong low pressure system will make landfall on Vancouver Island Tuesday night bringing strong southeasterly winds and heavy precipitation to much of the south coast. The storm will be accompanied by freezing levels of 1100 to 1500 m which means precipitation will fall as heavy snow in the mountains. As the cold front passes, winds will shift to strong and gusty westerlies or southwesterlies Wednesday morning, impacting western Vancouver Island, and potentially Qualicum, Victoria, Lower Mainland and the Fraser Valley. Strong southerlies will also funnel up the Sea to Sky.

There is some uncertainty in the exact track of the low pressure centre. This will impact which communities see the strongest winds. As the storm nears and wind speeds and total precipitation amounts become more certain, warnings may be issued.

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