Warnings

4:50 AM PDT Thursday 24 September 2020

Rainfall warning 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

Rain, at times heavy, is expected.



A moist and unstable airmass will continue bring bands of heavy showers across Howe Sound, the Fraser Valley, and northern sections of Metro Vancouver through this morning. A risk of thunderstorms embedded in this system may further lead to brief, intense, localized downpours.



Over the region, 35 to over 100 mm have fallen since Wednesday morning. Additional rainfall amounts of 20 to 30 mm are expected today. The heavy showers are expected to ease somewhat this afternoon. However, rain will redevelop tonight as the next system approaches the region.

Heavy downpours can cause flash floods and water pooling on roads. Watch for possible washouts near rivers, creeks and culverts.



Rainfall warnings are issued when significant rainfall is expected.
