Cold Weather Advisory
* WHAT...Very cold wind chills as low as 15 to 10 degrees expected. * WHERE...Lowlands of Western Whatcom County and San Juan County. * WHEN...From 8 PM this evening to noon PST Thursday. * IMPACTS...Very cold temperatures can lead to hypothermia with prolonged exposure.
fog
Near zero visibility in fog continues over some areas. Where: -Metro Vancouver - central including the City of Vancouver, Burnaby and New Westminster -Metro Vancouver - southwest including Richmond and Delta -Metro Vancouver - southeast including White Rock, Surrey and Langley -Metro Vancouver - northeast including Coquitlam and Maple Ridge When: Now through early Friday. Remark: A ridge of high pressure off the coast of BC is trapping moisture near the surface and creating areas of dense fog across Metro Vancouver, especially near the Strait of Georgia, Burrard Inlet, Boundary Bay, and the Fraser River. The fog in many locations managed to clear during the afternoon hours, however, after sunset and as conditions cool this evening, the dense fog is expected to develop once again, especially over western sections of Metro Vancouver and near the water. Outflow winds are expected to pick up later overnight and into Friday. These outflow winds will act to dissipate the dense fog. Additionally, expect slippery and icy conditions in low-lying areas where the combination of fog patches and below freezing temperatures will allow black ice to form. ### Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada.

rainfall
Rain, at times heavy, is expected. What: Significant rainfall amounts, and significant snowfall accumulations possible over higher terrain. When: Today. Where: Metro Vancouver - Central including the City of Vancouver, Burnaby, and New Westminster, the North Shore, and Northeast including Coquitlam and Maple Ridge. Remarks: A frontal system crossing the south coast is bringing rain and lowering snow levels to some areas. Rain has developed across the North Shore overnight and will spread to other parts of Metro Vancouver this morning. Rainfall amounts across the region will range from 30 to 50 mm, with the heaviest amounts expected across the North Shore and northeast Metro Vancvouer. Additional Hazards: Snow levels will be relatively low. Communities at higher elevations including Burnaby Mountain, and near the Upper Levels Highway, could see some wet snow impacting the Tuesday morning commute. Amounts are uncertain at this time as snowfall levels may fluctuate with changes in precipitation intensity. Snowfall over the recreational zones of the North Shore mountains is expected to be significant. Be prepared for winter driving conditions. ### Water will likely pool on roads and in low-lying areas. Some travel delays are possible. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada.

rainfall
Rain, at times heavy, is expected. What: Significant rainfall amounts, and significant snowfall accumulations over higher terrain. When: Beginning tonight and continuing through Tuesday. Where: Metro Vancouver - Central including the City of Vancouver, Burnaby, and New Westminster, the North Shore, and Northeast including Coquitlam and Maple Ridge. Remarks: A strong frontal system will push into the region this evening with light to moderate rain beginning near midnight. By Tuesday morning, the rain will have intensified and will continue at times heavy until later Tuesday afternoon. Rainfall amounts near the Northshore mountains will likely range from 50 to 60 mm while central regions of Vancouver can expect up to 50 mm. Additional Hazards: Snow levels will be relatively low. Communities at higher elevations including Burnaby Mountain, and near the Upper Levels Highway, could see some wet snow impacting the Tuesday morning commute. Amounts are uncertain at this time with the fluctuating snowfall levels. Snowfall over the recreational zones of the North Shore mountains is expected to be significant.

flood
Abnormal high tides combined with low pressure may produce minor/moderate coastal flooding. Elevated water levels accompanied by strong winds and waves are expected, exceeding highest astronomical tides. What: Risk of coastal flooding due to storm surge coinciding with high tides. When: This weekend, with the highest risk of coastal flooding on Sunday. Additional information: The South Coast is entering a period of high astronomical tides as Earth reaches perihelion (Earth's closest point to the Sun). Also, a low pressure system will cross the region this weekend. This falling atmospheric pressure will help further elevate coastal water levels beyond predicted tides, thus increasing the risk of coastal flooding. The exact track and timing of the low pressure centre remain uncertain at the moment. Wind strength will be contingent on the position of the low. Moderate winds and storm surge can lead to washed up debris and erosion along coastal areas. Minor to moderate coastal flooding is likely along exposed shorelines, especially in the low-lying areas. There is a risk of locally significant flooding especially where onshore winds compound on the highest tides. Roads and walkways may be difficult to navigate due to flooding and/or debris, such as driftwood and rocks. ### Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada.

Special Weather Statement
Significant rainfall over the past week has increased soil moisture to high levels across western Washington. This significant rain has put extra pressure on soil instability, leading to an increased threat of landslides and debris flows, especially from recent burned areas. Precipitation will remain fairly light through most of the weekend but a frontal system will move through Sunday night into Monday, bringing a quick hit of heavier rainfall which could act as a trigger. Numerous landslides have already occurred across the area. More landslides continue to be possible. Areas most susceptible to landslides debris flows under these conditions are steep coastal bluffs, other steep hillsides or road cuts, and recent burned areas. A diminishing threat of landslides and debris flows will continue for several days after the rain ends. For more information about current conditions, visit www.weather.gov/seattle, select Hydrology, and then scroll down for the links to the landslide information pages. For more information on landslides, visit the website for the Washington State Department of Natural Resources landslide geologic hazards at: http://bit.ly/2mtA3wn
