RAINFALL WARNING FOR ISLAND


 RAINFALL WARNING
80 - 150mm Forecast

A strong Pacific frontal system will reach the British Columbia coast later today spreading rain heavy at times over most South Coast regions tonight through Sunday. Total amounts of up to 150 mm are expected to fall over West Vancouver Island and over 100 mm for Squamish and the north shore of Metro Vancouver. Near 80 mm are expected over the other affected regions. The rain will ease late Sunday as the system moves away to the east. The system will also bring strong southeasterly winds of 80 km/h to West Vancouver Island overnight tonight. The strong winds will ease midday Sunday with the passage of the front.

Note: For those of us who still think in inches, 150mm = 5.9", 100mm = 3.9", 80mm = 3.1". Any one of these amounts is a lot of rainfall in a short period of time. It looks like the drought is over!
