Metro Vancouver Weather: Rain and Sunshine Balance Ahead
Residents of Metro Vancouver are encouraged to make the most of the brief sunny spell before a new wave of storms arrives. A short stretch of clear skies is expected to end soon as an active jet stream from the Pacific moves onshore, bringing renewed rainfall and wind to the region.
Sunny Start to the Weekend
Environment Canada meteorologist Brian Proctor told V.I.A. that Friday will begin with sunshine across the Lower Mainland following recent frontal systems that caused heavy rain and gusty conditions.
"The rain during rush hour was more intense than we expected, although rainfall totals were aligned with the forecast," Proctor explained.
He added that rainfall warnings were issued for typical high-precipitation areas such as the North Shore and Port Coquitlam.
Weekend Temperature Outlook
Friday night temperatures are expected to dip to around 6°C, while Saturday promises the most pleasant weather of the week.
"Like a lovely blue sky day," said Proctor, noting temperatures will again fall to approximately 5°C overnight.
Storm Systems Returning Early Next Week
This window of sunshine will close quickly. The Pacific jet stream is redirecting moisture onshore, setting up a sequence of storms expected to impact the region through Sunday and beyond. Sunday’s system will mirror the midweek storm, bringing moderate rainfall to most of the Lower Mainland.
- 20 to 40 mm of rain expected in Vancouver and surrounding areas
- 40 to 70 mm likely for the North Shore, Port Moody, and Port Coquitlam
Proctor noted that these higher-accumulation areas could again face official rainfall warnings if precipitation rates increase.
Author’s Summary
A fleeting period of sunshine will give way to another stormy stretch in Metro Vancouver as the Pacific jet stream reactivates, threatening heavy weekend rainfall and renewed weather alerts.
