Vancouver, BC - Haven't been writing much about the West Coast... here's my blog entry dedicated to the West Coasters... sorry for my tardiness and my "briefness" in this blog entry. I am still currently working on my website, as well as planning for a blog entry for the storm that had just left Eastern Canada, so here it goes:

While the eastern Canadians are cleaning up their snow, west coasters are dealing with a rainstorm!

A storm flowing from the Pacific Ocean is bound to hit southwestern shores of British Columbia, and British Columbians, get ready for a strong Pacific Storm. As of 7 AM PDT Monday, the system is now situated approximately 1000 km west of Victoria, BC. The storm will move quickly west-north-west ward, and it seems like everyone on the West Coast of Canada will see rain. In particular, the heaviest bands of showers will hit the most populous region of British Columbia. With the rain, we can see strong onshore winds, and that can create high tides, low-lying elevation floods, as well as mudslides towards the mountains. Widespread warnings and advisories are issued for British Columbia.

As of now, Vancouver is already seeing light rain showers due to the head bands of the system. Upwards to 30 to 50 mm of rain is possible for Victoria, Vancouver, and nearby areas.
