It looks like HRDPS goes snow-ZR-snow-rain

Almost looks like a Cat 3 AR for Vancouver Island Image

King Tide is on Monday...so all the rain and snow melt will contribute to flooding.

Warnings are issued based on time out from event, even if they are certain it will be a watch still until I believe 18 hours in advance

Warnings should come out later this morning

Thankfully we won't see too much ice, a lengthy period of +2C rain though. :thumbdown:

Uh oh. That combo absolutely wrecked my family's property on Thormanby island last year causing massive repairs. Hopefully not as bad this time.

Anyone think we see 25 cm +? Ratio will more like 15:1, not a big warm up until later tomorrow.

GEM and GFS say some areas may get that much but not ECMWF.
It's called clown range for a reason.
