BCStorm ⛈️ 🌪️ ❄️ 💨

The possibility of a stationary frontal boundary training across Maui/Hawaii (Big Island) through next week is HIGHLY concerning. Weak stationary fronts are huge flood makers, and this one is much more dynamic... #hiwx

A long-duration atmospheric river targets B.C. this week. Rain will pile up fast: a month’s worth of March rainfall could fall in just 3 or 4 days, especially in the mountains. Flooding concerns are growing with the added snowmelt. #BCRain #BCFlood

The amount of snow at Snoqualmie Pass is insane. Look how tall those slabs of snow are compared to those people snowshoeing.

Beautiful shot taken today by METEOR M2-4 as it passed W of Metro Vancouver at 3:40 PM. @BCNewsAddict @KSeattleWeather @SeattleWXGuy @OrcaBC_CA @Weatherman2709

❗️ICYMI Environment Canada has issued a Special Weather Statement (Prolonged Atmospheric River Event) for the following areas: 🔹 Central Coast (coastal sections) 🔹 Howe Sound 🔹 Inland, north & west Vancouver Island 🔹 Metro Vancouver (North Shore and northeastern areas) #BCStorm DriveBC.ca ℹ️weather.gc.ca/?layers=alert&…

A crew is currently on site at an outage affecting 1,070 customers near #DawsonCreek. They expect to have power restored by 12:00 p.m. and are sharing updates here: bit.ly/4sINqpB

Haleakala on Maui recorded 812.8mm of rain yesterday. NAM weather model says they are expecting another 787.4mm of rain over the next 24 hours, and another 1,800mm of rain combined over the next 48 hours. This is quite likely the most powerful Category 5 Atmospheric Rivers we have ever seen on Planet Earth in recorded history. In 72 hours, portions of Hawaii may see double the amount of Rainfall that Vancouver, BC would see in an entire year. Think about how wet of a city we are. Double our annual rainfall in just a 72 hour time span. Beyond baffling to see this. I can't even begin to imagine what 8+ feet of rain would do to an area falling in just 3 days. Sure Hawaii has seen a thing or two. But this is beyond extreme for any location on earth.

🚨 A very significant atmospheric river is on tap for SW British Columbia, with potentially 100-200 mm of rain over 4-5 days, beginning Sunday night! Freezing levels will rise to 3,000 m! This is possibly the last weekend to ski on the local mountains... #BCstorm

NGL, its a little bit concerning hearing people tell me that this current ongoing caught people by surprise. So lets get the word out that more is coming. The extent of any future flooding is still in question. Also, overall landslide threat will be INCREASING. #wawx #orwx #bcstorm

@theamelia__ Eat

@Matt_Pinner The more steak I eat the better the storms will be while I eat the steak? 🤔

What are your thoughts on this

@Matt_Pinner 80

50 points, I feel confident no one will get to 100 points How many did you get ?

CAT 5 Atmospheric River!

⚠️Atmospheric River This Weekend⚠️ An atmospheric river will take aim at the #PNW with very significant totals. 5-8+ In 🌧️ Cascades, 2-5In Lowlands. Snow levels over 2000M. The upcoming pattern may support a continuation of heavy rain systems. Perhaps mountain snow. #bcstorm

That's conservatively about 6,300,000,000,000 gallons of water just for Western WA or about 52 trillion lbs. Get your rain barrels ready.

The scene by Lafarge this morning #kamloops

There were so many color changes during last night's sunset. I took this one overlooking Colony Mountain and the San Juan Islands. Off in the distance, parts of the Olympic Range and even Vancouver Island, with Victoria at the tip. Such a beautiful night. #wawx #pnw #nature
