At this time, confidence in the occurrence of this event is low, however it would be advisable to be cautious when engaging in outdoor activities in the event that this scenario takes place.

Here it is:

So it’s going to affect the City of Vancouver proper*, then! Yay!

* Yes, I know the city itself is not mentioned in the warning. That’s why it’s going to affect the city proper.

Latest HRRR is picking up on the potential for thunderstorms tomorrow.

Wasnt it showing the "potential" last week too?

Whoa...wut?

Vehicle thermo said 34c back to back days. Please bring on a downpour overnight with plummetting temps
A damp 15c tom morning would be great

First time I think I've seen this forecast for the valley:

FRIDAY...Wind becoming west 20 km/h near noon except north 30 gusting to 50 near lakes in the afternoon

Did EC add this because they assume lots of people will be at lakes tomorrow?

The HRRR handled last week pretty well. The Euro was the one that was a bit too excited.

Here it is:

Just a heat warning for Sechelt.

30.7c in Sechelt, 29.0c in Roberts Creek, 27.3c inside.

EC is still 'promising' me showers tomorrow (30% chance) and 25c and maybe thundershower. I'm expecting that to verify, just like the snowstorms they always promise me too.

Great, always wanted to know what the weather will be like for Pemberton when looking at a forecast for Pitt Meadows.

New improved EC forecasting. It auto-predicts where you will be and delivers the appropriate forecast.

Whoa lots of data to process there. Basically, looks like the tornados may head this way.
Plus buttee sees signals of late season warmth, but doubts it will occur due to lack of mixing (Tell em Nito)
Seattle only dropped to 69f last night. Last night was a jooooooke for temps (see Hope's Low was 21c)
Ok bye now

Where you at John?? The northerly winds are in the EC forecast. U better cover your crops or put the cows indoors. In case you're asking they're saying Northerly at 50 kmh
What about Nito? Wow is that ever humid right now this has been 24 hours of.. tell em Bono!!

I think we're going to get pumbled with some thunderstorms this time
