B.C.’s South Coast is set to experience the first significant rainfall of the season.

Global BC meteorologist Kristi Gordon said the atmospheric river is likely to arrive on Friday night and last until Sunday morning. However, not all areas will receive heavy rain the entire time.

Rainfall amounts could range from 80 to 175 millimetres across the North Shore mountains, with only 40 to 80 millimetres expected across southern regions of the Lower Mainland.

The atmospheric river’s projected strength, which is the amount of moisture and duration, could be between one and two on the impact scale, Gordon added. One means primarily beneficial while two means mostly beneficial but also hazardous.

“The timeline of the heaviest precipitation for each region is evolving. However, this is our most uptodate timing,” Gordon explains.
