#common for us Interior high elevation folk. :wave:
Looks like Similkameen is flirting with snow too..def will snow in the higher hills...but likely flakes in the dry climate..unless some strong bands move through. Last summer, it was happening in early July :shock:
Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++ 8-)

I think we may be seeing another storm roll through late this afternoon? :wtf:

I’ve heard a few rumbles in Tsawwassen and the radar is filling in a bit over the strait.

I just heard a rumble in Newton. I am disappointed that Surrey missed out on last nights storm. That looked like fun.
Why not try cycling to work, grocery store, anywhere!

The radar looks decent. Not nearly as much energy but still. I had some hail in Fraser heights a few minutes ago. C'mon!!

As usual things seem to fizzle over the Strait and in the subsidence off Vancouver Island. I'm still hoping for something though.

There are some buildups on the east side of the island. It's a long shot. EC has pretty much dried out the forecast . Only a 30 % chance of showers or thunderstorms.

Ah nice to have so many members chiming in on the interesting weather lately. However it won't be long before most hibernate once the good weather appears for day's on end. On that note snow is in the forecast for Calgary on Thursday. :o

Had quite a downpour a couple hours ago... 40 mm/hr rain rates.

I was driving through Guildford yesterday and I noticed hail along the sides of the road. Some of it looked larger than pea-sized.

I'm going to try and post more, but I find death ridges and heat waves to be exceedingly boring. :tiredos:
