Environment Canada has issued a rainfall warning for parts of Metro Vancouver, as well as the lower Sunshine Coast and Howe Sound regions.
The weather agency reports that an “unseasonably” moisture-laden frontal system is expected to cross British Columbia’s south coast on Friday. The system is forecast to bring strong winds and rain that will intensify throughout the day, with up to 80 mm of rain expected to fall at higher elevations.
According to the bulletin, the rain is expected to taper off late Friday evening on the Sunshine Coast and after midnight across eastern Metro Vancouver.
Environment Canada is warning of reduced visibility during the heaviest downpours, which are expected during Friday’s afternoon commute. The agency also cautions that water pooling on roadways could increase the risk of hydroplaning. Additionally, the heavy rainfall could cause water levels in rivers and creeks to rise rapidly, and the public is advised to be alert and cautious in and around waterways.
