Just hit 2k followers and I couldn’t do it without you guys. I strive to become better at forecasting events and sometimes my excitement may get ahead of me, but you guys allow me to turn my passion into something I can share with others. And I am very greatful for this
Took this photo of my cousin tonight, amazed by the beauty of the

WE ARE SO BACK!!! Euro ensemble and control both trended west and stronger with the cold for the Pacific Northwest. We are likely gonna see arctic air start Thursday. Stay tuned for snow amounts, extend and duration of cold, I will keep you guys updated.

Some models are throwing around the idea of a devastating atmospheric river hitting the pnw and Vancouver island last couple days of Jan. We need to keep our eyes on this. Stay tuned.

Never thought I’d say this in April! 70-100+cm if snow coming to Vancouver as a deep trough combined with arctic air stalls, this will break records by FAR, get the salt, stock up on groceries and do not go out.

Euro has one of the best trajectory of a polar lobe. It bring VERY cold air for us to the pnw. And snow opportunities. Gfs ens is in agreement and so is gem. Waiting for euro ens, stay tuned could still change.

Good new for winter lovers. Euro deterministic run has that polar lobe further west and stronger. Similar to Canadian gem. The Canadian ens is further west and colder too. This is good sign folks, Pacific Northwest could see some

I will post euro ensembles soon.
Drought and Smoke haters rejoice as an active storm track is set to begin next Friday according to the highly accurate ECMWF Mean. 3-5 inches+ and cooler temps will put an end to the drought.

Most weather models are agreeing on the low pressure centre being south, near Port Angeles. This will pull colder air through Sw BC. Can still change but major snowstorm is possible, with freezing rain possible south of the border. We will know by tonight likely stay tuned
#snow
Euro shows a big snow event for southwest BC and higher elevations. Like 20-40+cm and less over the water and south of the border unless inland and higher elevations. Details unknown now. Stay tuned could be BIG!

Updated amounts with the euro. 20-30cm showing up across metro Vancouver. I expect the beaches and city of Vancouver will see less. But major snowstorm coming, 12 hours of snow or more. Do not drive unless you have to. Amounts subject to change, as snow storms are tricky.

Across metro Vancouver, Drivers struggling to drive in heavy snow. Lots of snow on roads/ around 10cm snow already on the ground and this was at 7pm with some more snow to come tonight. This is Langley BC right now .

Latest gfs update brings temps down to -14 to -17c for metro Vancouver lol. This won’t happen likely but I’m keeping my eyes on cold long range. Too far out to know
Hrrr just went crazy for the lower mainland, eastern Vancouver island and Sunshine coast. Widespread downpours with flash flooding and frequent lightning on this run.
#BCStorm
Another system tomorrow: 0-5cm of snow metro Vancouver.
5-20cm eastern Vancouver island. Some snow in San Juan islands. Freezing Rain south of Fraser R. Lasts until afternoon in the valley. Very tricky weather. Back to seasonal and wet Sat.

Major uncertainty as some models have the low too far north, freezing rain, quick slush. For metro Vancouver. Euro keeps low near port Angeles, south,which would pull down cold air aloft and snow storm. I’ll post 18z gfs when it’s out.
#snow
#bcstorm
Euro Ensemble further east now with cold. I think the best we will see is a couple days of cold and a bit of snow maybe. It may turn into no cold at all and be a bust. Gem ens is a very touch better than 12z but right now it’s looking unlikely for very cold temps in pnw stay tune
Multi day atmospheric river looks to come and visit the west coast late weekend and last through the mid week. Followed by colder and wet snow chances.
#bcstorm

#atmosphericriver
Stay tuned for more updates. Looks quite stormy with flood possibilities.
Ok we are gonna have to talk if the euro is on board tonight. Waiting for it to update. Absolutely flip back to arctic air scenario on gfs ensemble. Canadian gem is starting to show it too. Stay tuned can change. Will only take too serious if euro shows it.
Euro deterministic agrees. Major cold out west mid next week looks likely as we are visited by the polar vortex. Still can change but we are pretty close to out of the “bust range” euro ens and control coming soon will update
National blend of models still shows a ridiculous 25-40cm of snow by Thursday afternoon. Low confidence in that but we’ll see. 10-30cm is a realistic range but anything can happen! I’ll do a snow update this aft for all folks! ❄️
Snow storm is on the way to metro Vancouver and other regions of the pnw. Amounts uncertain but could be fairly significant. Let’s just hope that track of the low is good enough as the sun angle is higher in late February.

Are we going to get Nam’d Friday night? It’s showing low temps of -21c in metro Vancouver. Likely over doing the cold but we’ll see lol, the Nam does have the lobe further west a bit but I don’t think we’ll quite reach -21c. I’ll watch for it anyway .

Euro ensemble and control gem, CMC and GEFS agree on very cold batch of air that will move into pnw Thu am.

Here’s early-mid next week 72hour precip projections. Details and total amounts will not be known yet but for now consensus is that we will have a significant washout possible. This is good for our forests and water tables and will be elite tier event for June.

#pnw
next week. As arctic front arrives it will go over the ocean and bring snow as it makes its own system. Temps are likely over done on euro but we’ll see. Below is euro prediction on t max and min in Abbotsford BC. 1/3
Snow amount maps are irresponsible to post as they will change but euro control is just going Armageddon mode which is ridiculous. If this northwest flow pattern does develops. Low land snow chances are possible.
#bcsnow
#bcstorm
% these totals happen = chance I win lotto max lol
Seattle and areas of the pudget sound will likely see hundreds of lightning strikes in a few hours as a wall of thunderstorms makes its way northward. Cool air off the cascades will mix with with warm humid air, resulting in major thunderstorm outbreak. Downpours half inch hail.
Weather models still showing risk of cold air and snow chances for low land areas in the Pacific Northwest. Nothing is for sure yet, but we are now a week out from when they show this occurring. How much cold air get west of the Rockies and for how long unsure now. Stay tuned.
Langley BC 200th street flooding from thunderstorms! There was also lightning detected. This is thanks to a pocket of cold air aloft allowing convection and heavy rain.
#bcstorm

Euro ensemble is slightly farther west, and so is Canadian ensemble which has been most consistent. You may hear chit chatter about this cold air being a “bust” but I think it will still get cold regardless. We will talk about more details later. Good night.

This is better than arctic air lmao. Euro control and ensemble show very strong northwest flow starting in 10 days. It is fantasy land though so it can change. But if this were to happen , tons of low land snow. It’s got snow way over the water in late Feb. never seen this.
Gfs coming in big sign 30-50mm of rain early next week for metro Vancouver, with part of Washington state. Vancouver island also seeing good rainfall. All models agree on some sort of storm next week. But rainfall totals are unknown so far. Much needed rainfall is likely
*not a forecast*but euro went CRAZY showing 40-90cm of snow by end next week. If Vancouver sees over 80cm I will do 100 gift card giveaway lol. No way it happens I know my weather friends and I agree euro is on crack but I know you guys want to see the model solutions
#wonthappen
I’ve been hyping this up a little too much lol. But northwest flow looking more likely. Details on if it will be strong enough to bring low land snow or if it’ll last into early march we have no clue. These snow maps have been for fun fantasy maps, not a forecast but stay tuned
Euro control is a snow lovers dream in late Feb. deep northwest flow, with very cold lows, would mean more snow than rain with those system. With night time precip being all snow in this pattern. This is fantasy land but northwest flow is not unlikely now starting 25th.
A little early for any details or weather this will happen or not, but winter storm is possible for Bellingham- North into swbc and Vancouver island. It’s better to prepare then to stay silent about it. Stay tuned as we close in to Tuesday night.

Weather enthusiast, drought haters, feast your eyes on this. So many models agree on a very wet late October. I will do updates as we head late oct. Not exactly sure the day it will start and how much rain will fall but I like this
#bcstorm
Could be a memorable snow event for north of the border showing 15-40+cm. Likely 10-35cm for lower mainland, depends on the transition timing from snow to a mix for lower mainland euro has it a bit colder for lower mainland now. Snow chance possible end of week as well 1/3
The storm are growing and are impacting Portland now. And are moving into Washington state! Seattle and the pudget sound is next. Vancouver tonight.

❄️SNOWSTORM❄️ WARNING⚠️
the HRDPS model shows up to 4cm/rates at its peak Saturday night for metro Vancouver. If this were to verify we could get 20cm snow easily or more. Model guidance is at 10-25cm snow for lower mainland. Higher elevations will see more.

The false spring is upon us. Things will begin warming up, with temps possibly reaching low 20s for the weekend. Some model guidance suggests a cool down by mid next week back seasonal or below but for now we are heading into a warm dry period thanks to an omega block.

Eyes on a more organized system bringing widespread rain mid late next week. Before that, showers this weekend. Enjoy the Sunshine too.

A look at the wacky gfs snowfall projections for the south coast. A very unlikely amount of snow fall with most of it falling Jan 27 to march. 2. Confidence we get this much is same oddity same person gets struck by lightning 10 x in a row. Lots of requests to share this 😂
With El Nino predicted to rapidly decline and transition to La Nina, it looks like that this year could get interesting for Severe weather and Hurricane season.
Stay tuned. There is a bust scenario still. Gfs 00z and 18z are bad. I will explain more later tonight when euro comes out. Gfs could be an outlier but it’s mindful to watch

🌧Atmospheric Rivers! First one is likely weaker and shorter duration. The one on the right is for Sunday into Halloween and could be stronger and longer lasting. The precipitation maps suggest quite a bit of precip. Be prepared

A polar lobe will pass after a system Sunday. Monday to Tuesday night expect wet snow showers/ice pellets/ hail occasional lightning. Convergence zones. Mid week still unknown with track of low maybe a round of heavy wet slop for SWBC. Stay tuned for more info as we get closer!
Euro is in. Maybe a brief transition to freezing rain/ice pellets early Wednesday morning before switching back to snow as 925mb temps cool. Still more to go over, but significant snowfall is possible across metro Vancouver and Vancouver island.
Late night arctic air outlook: model agreement beginning to show up in ensembles. Euro control goes crazy too! Stay tuned as this event is still 9+ days away and can change. No getting hopes up yet but it looks possible to be colder as we close November.

18z euro keeps the low south. Allowing it to remain as snow through Wednesday. We’ll see. The low placement will drastically effect precip type keep tuned
