waterspout
Conditions are favourable for the development of waterspouts. Where: All offshore marine regions and many inner south coast marine regions. When: Late this evening and through Wednesday morning. Remarks: A robust and very unstable trough of low pressure will push through the offshore marine waters late this evening and will persist through the night. This particular set up is conducive to the potential for water spout formation. As the trough pushes southeast towards Vancouver Island, the threat of water spout formation spreads to the inner south coast waters starting very early Wednesday morning and continuing until midday. By Wednesday midday the threat of water spout formation will have subsided as the trough pushes inland. ### Waterspouts are generally short-lived in nature, typically lasting 20 minutes or less. Waterspouts sometimes appear as funnel clouds with swirling water visible near the surface. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. For more information monitor Canadian Coast Guard radio or Weatheradio stations.
Coastal Flood Advisory
* WHAT...Minor coastal flooding expected. Inundation of around 1 to 2 feet above ground level is possible along shorelines and low-lying coastal areas. * WHERE...San Juan County and Lowlands of Western Whatcom County zones. * WHEN...From 5 AM to 11 AM PST Wednesday. * IMPACTS...Minor coastal flooding due to tidal overflow is expected around high tide. This may lead to flooding of parking lots, parks, and roads, with only isolated road closures expected.
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. To report severe weather, send an email to BCstorm@ec.gc.ca or post reports on X using #BCStorm.

Coastal Flood Advisory
* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, minor coastal flooding expected. Inundation of 1.5 to 2.5 feet above ground level is possible along shorelines and low-lying coastal areas. For the Coastal Flood Watch, significant coastal flooding possible. Inundation of 2 to 3 feet above ground level is possible along shorelines and low-lying coastal areas. * WHERE...San Juan County and Lowlands of Western Whatcom County zones. * WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, from 5 AM to 9 AM PST today. For the Coastal Flood Watch, Sunday morning. * IMPACTS...Numerous roads may be closed. Low lying property including homes, businesses, and some critical infrastructure may be inundated. Some shoreline erosion may occur.

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
