Statement warns of up to 75mm rain in Metro Vancouver
BY , Nov 2, 2020 10:22 PM - REPORT AN ERRORStrong winds tore branches from trees and likely played a part in several outages this morning that cut power to nearly 2,500 customers in the Peace River region of northeastern BC.
The region is one of several in the province affected by weather warnings today, including blizzard and winter storm warnings along most of both sides of the BC-Yukon boundary as up to 35 centimetres of snow and powerful winds make travel treacherous there.
Rain warnings are up for western Vancouver Island and inland sections of the north coast as meteorologists predict up to 150 millimetres could deluge parts of the Island by tomorrow while the areas around Kitimat and Stewart will see up to 60-millimetres before conditions ease.
Special weather statements cover eastern Vancouver Island and the inner south Coast including Metro Vancouver as the weather office says a system packing about 75 millimetres of rain will drench those regions tonight and tomorrow.
