The "fire hose" is pointed straight at us.

Would imagine there will be flooding concerns with this.

It's a really potent AR. Could see some flooding for Vancouver Island...the one good thing is there is barely any snow below 1200m.

Fwiw, the 12Z Euro is back to showing some slop potential on Christmas evening/overnight.

But don't worry, any slop that falls will be quickly washed away by the :dancepine: .... and I think I need to add this guy too now, right Neetz?? :think: :dance:

Yeah, Euro is wet for the Island, but it’s not the firehose of an ar produced by the 12z GFS. The 12Z GFS would put the new riprap on the Coq to the test.

Ya, some pretty impressive rainfall totals on that run. Most of this falls from Mon-Weds.
