It says the North Shore, Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam and Maple Ridge could get up to 100 millimetres of rain by Friday afternoon.
On the upside, 1130 NewsRadio Meteorologist Michael Kuss says warm temperatures will continue.
He says the region could feel warmer Thursday than the 9-degree-plus highs of Wednesday.
“Should be 10. Even some 11s — 12s not out of the question,” said Kuss.
He predicts the rain will affect some areas more than others.
“The farther south you go, and even in through the western parts of the Fraser Valley, the rain is going to be more off than on.”
Kuss says relief is on the horizon as soon as the weekend, but it may be short-lived.
“That rain dries out late Saturday. Looks quite nice. Twelve degrees and mainly cloudy. Sunday, back into the wet weather — could linger into Monday as well.”
