When I was volunteering to collect weather data for Environment Canada, I seem to remember 4 PM being the cut-off for a day. I don’t know why that’s in my mind right now.
Yes the cutoff for daily data is 22:00 hours for E.C. but in reality l think most members here go from midnight to midnight when their PWS's reset.
Why does the Abby forecast call for: Wind south 30 km/h gusting to 50 becoming southwest 50 gusting to 80 after midnight.
With gusts to 80k, I would assume that warrants a Warning, especially for the first wind that strong and most trees still have half or more of their leaves.

I'd be surprised if gusts reached 80km/h here. I'm expecting gusts in the range of 55-65 km/h with perhaps a peak gust of 70km/h max.
That said, I was surprised Environment Canada didn't issue a Special Weather Statement. While wind gusts are not expected to reach official warning criteria, even 60-70km/h gusts can cause nuisance power outages. Given that this is our first fall storm, I was expecting a statement to be issued.
And what is this? Why does it show a warning all the way out past Langley and talks about gusts to 90k? Yet on the actual forecast page there is no warning. Such inconsistency!! Sure, it says North Delta in the text but...........

The hallmark of a forecast that was automatically generated from raw model output without any human input. Also the hallmark of a forecast model and its lack of resolution causing it to fail to realize that the bottom of the Fraser Valley is as low as it is.

Good morning. And there it is. EC has changed the Abby forecast now to high of 9C
Expected.
Fortunately, they changed for 8°C.
The max is 10.1°C so far... What was the forecast yesterday? Oh, yeah, 6°C... It's not even the minimum!
Bunch of clowns!

Apparently it was quite gusty overnight here. I'm not sure what the actual wind speed was but some metal chairs fell down the deck stairs apparently.
for Coquitlam for today and tonight was 30-50 mm.
