Downpour out there once again. Cold front must be passing through, which means the end is near!

Homeowner reported missing amid mudslide in Coquitlam, B.C.
Coquitlam River under flood warning from provincial forecast centre amid torrential downpours
Rescuers in Coquitlam, B.C., are searching for a missing homeowner in the Mount Burke area after they say torrential rain triggered a mudslide and washed away one residence.
The slide came down around noon PT on Saturday, striking a home in the 4200-block of Quarry Road and sending it down the mountainside, Coquitlam Fire and Rescue Chief Scott Young told CBC News.
When his team arrived, Young says they found the road turned into a muddy river and high-voltage hydro lines blocking their entrance into the site. Once those were cleared, Young said they discovered the house had been "completely knocked off the foundation and completely turned into debris."
He said they believe only one person lived in the home, but don't know if they were home at the time of the slide. RCMP have attempted to contact the homeowner and are considering them a missing person as of 8 p.m. PT on Saturday.
Young said his crew as well as the provincial Heavy Urban Search and Rescue unit were called in to try and find the homeowner, but that they didn't have any luck before having to shut down their operations for the night.
They plan to resume the search when there is light again Sunday morning.
No other homes were impacted by the mudslide on Saturday, according to the fire chief. Quarry Road was closed between Calgary Drive and MacIntyre Road.
The provincial River Forecast Centre issued a flood watch for the Coquitlam River, which means flooding is imminent and water has exceeded river banks, at 11:15 a.m. PT on Saturday.

Heaviest rain yet. Roughly 20 mm/hr.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Re: October 2024 Forecasts And Discussions
Wow so higher than November 2021 totals, but l'm assuming Hope eastward were spared unlike 2021's severe damage to roads and what not. I guess we need our numbers crunchers to compare these totals to Nov 2021 to see where the heaviest rain totals fell.Typeing3 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 20, 2024 1:28 pm The rain gauge in east Coquitlam near my place was not in operation in Nov 2021, but the one in northeast Coquitlam was.

Re: October 2024 Forecasts And Discussions
18z GFS shows a textbook La Nina pattern after day 6... chilly and active NW flow. A few dry periods with frosty mornings but plenty of cold rain for us which means the mountain snowpack could get a head start if it verifies.

Re: October 2024 Forecasts And Discussions
Looks like BAM is going for above average temps come mid-November.
This "could" bode well for the hammer drop come December.

Still bummed the 2021 Atmospheric River wiped out the KVR along the river.

I definitely got more than that in 2021, and that was in Abbotsford, so presumably even more than that for Mission. Totally different beast for the valley.

My Burnaby Mountain station - Burnwood and Curtis Streets:
Oct 18 57.0 mm
Oct 19 151.0 mm
Oct 20 34.8 mm
Storm total 242.8 mm
Highest 24 hours 180.0 mm from 5 pm Oct 18 to 5 pm Oct 19.
Highest 48 hours 221.0 mm from 9 am Oct 18 to 9 am Oct 20.
My numbers are pretty consistent with the Metro Vancouver Burnaby Mountain station:

Note I was 135 mm for 48 hours during the atmospheric river of Nov 14-15, 2021, so this event shattered that storm record.
