Metro Vancouver weather: Rainfall warning issued, power outages possible

Metro Vancouver Weather Update

Stormy conditions continue across Metro Vancouver, with more storms forecasted into the weekend. Unlike typical falls with larger storms and longer dry periods, this year brings frequent smaller storms, giving little respite from the rain.

Current Weather Patterns

Environment Canada meteorologist Brian Proctor describes the Lower Mainland as experiencing "[translate: fairly typical fall weather]," where most days include some precipitation without extended dry spells.

Rainfall Predictions

A frontal system is delivering ongoing moisture to Vancouver Island and southern B.C. areas. Southeast locations like Ladner and Tsawwassen may see 20–30 mm of rain by mid-Thursday.

A rainfall warning is issued for the North Shore as a second frontal system approaches on Thursday.

Wind and Power Concerns

[translate: "We'll see some decent 30 km/h winds gusting to 50 km/h and up to 70 km/h in the Strait of Georgia,"]

Proctor warns these gusts could cause power outages. Heavy rain may also cause water to pool on roads and in low-lying areas.

Summary: Persistent storms are delivering frequent rain and strong winds to Metro Vancouver, increasing risks of flooding and power outages over the next several days.
