Touch too mild this AM. Snow level remains near 300m. May drop to 150m tonight.

Looks sunny on Wednesday now as the low goes into Central Oregon.

Scattered flurries maybe above 100m on Thurs. We gradually warm up before the weekend. +10C rain returns.

HFS for later today:
Rain beginning this afternoon. Slush mixed with rain beginning this afternoon at higher levels. Look out the window this afternoon if you are above 100m, or go for a drive to check for window splats
5-10mm of slush accumulation possible

Some snow in the Valley and eastern suburbs tonight on the short-term models.

probably predicting some convective streamers coming in from the SW. Crap shoot for location, but i like where im at iibh
We need to see some potent cells for any hope buttees

Euro looks good for Vancouver proper tonight, but it is the only model with this snowfall distribution, and at this time frame the short-term high-res models usually beat it in accuracy.

Yeah I’d love for the euro snow maps to win one but we know better at this point.

Temp map?

All plausible for snow in the areas where it is modelled tonight. Surface temps in the 0–1˚C range.

Warmer in areas where snow is not modelled so looks like a heavy precip drags down the snow level type scenario.

I think Wednesday night into Thursday morning will be our best chance. Fraser outflow will ensure that temperature is not an issue.

Temps look good buf Euro is over modeling precip as usual. Icon looked to have a good track that would bring more precip into Western Metro Van.

I will give flake by flake reports tonight.

There’s a couple of runs I saw that I’m surprised you didn’t post, they dumped everything into the straight
