Grey skies with plenty of rain are expected to arrive in Vancouver today.
In a special weather statement issued by Environment Canada, the federal agency warns that up to 70 mm of rain is expected to fall between Sunday morning and Monday morning.
"A strong onshore flow will direct two storm systems towards the south coast. Rain will intensify today and continue through tonight," they state.
The North Shore mountains are expected to see the most rain. The statement does not include southern areas of Metro Vancouver like Richmond, Delta and Surrey. The Fraser Valley and Sunshine Coast are also covered in the weather statement.
"Heavy rain should ease to showers by Monday morning," states Environment Canada. "Periods of strong and gusty winds are also expected today into Monday morning."
At the same time, "strong localized winds" may hit some areas.
For those travelling to or from the interior of B.C., a full weather warning has been issued for the Coquihalla with up to 40 cm of snow expected by Tuesday morning around the Coquihalla Summit.
"Consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve. Rapidly accumulating snow will make travel difficult. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow," warns Environment Canada
