Aggressive day 3 outlook issued by the SPC - An upper trough pumps a mild, unstable southerly flow bringing with it the chance of severe thunderstorms across the Pacific Northwest.

A look at the power outage threat with a potent, compact low approaching the South Coast Monday evening - localized, but high impacts possible!
Storm fatigue at its peak: A 975 hPa low south of Tofino is forecast for Boxing Day, far inside 130°W. Another round of damaging winds and widespread power outages are expected. #BCStorm
So, next weekend, the western shores of Hudson Bay will experience temperatures up to 28 degrees above normal, and rainfall will likely be reported across the bay.
There is a very high risk of outages for northern sections of the Strait of Georgia, where 100-110 km/h wind gusts are possible over the immediate coastline. Please stay safe! #BCStorm
Remarkable satellite presentation on a rapidly developing low, with a final destination south of Haida Gwaii pre-dawn Tuesday at 960 hPa. #BCStorm
Carefully watching a powerful low approach the NW tip of Vancouver Island pre-dawn Christmas Eve. A low inside 130°W with this pressure normally spells pretty big trouble with power outages and damage for Vancouver Island. #BCStorm
Classic windstorm for the Lower Mainland on Saturday, with gusts over 90 km/h across the SW, but 80+ km/h wind gusts are fair game well inland. #BCStorm
The streak of windstorms continues… (1/3🧵) #BCStorm The forecast is straightforward: if you live along the water, expect wind gusts of up to 100 km/h. The North Island will see much less impact compared to the recent bomb cyclone.
Heavy fog through the #Chehalis Valley with limited visibility… use caution, slow down, and make sure your headlights are on if travelling in that area or whenever travelling in fog! #ShareYourWeather #WAwx

Why a B.C. ridge in December isn’t as sunny as you think - The Weather Network
As we start December, high pressure is settling across the province, but it’s not sunny days ahead. We dive into the reasons why

Buoy Y43, a few hundred meters off the Ucluelet coast. Doing it's job during the Bomb Cyclone yesterday. I want to dedicate these photos to the First Responders, BC Hydro & other folks who work through these event to try to keep us safe #Ukee #Ucluelet #BombCyclone #BCStorm #VancouverIsland #PNW
The atmosphere is pulling off its best impersonation of a Tim Hortons Smile Cookie this week.
What it's like to watch a plane land during a bomb cyclone. 💨✈️ #wawx
WPC analysis shows the #BombCyclone bottomed out at 942 mb at 03z (19 PT). This ties the record set in October 2021. #weather #BCstorm #WAwx #ORwx
Entering hour nine with no power because of the #BCstorm. Checked the fridge and the beer is still cold. Guinness is an acceptable breakfast in a disaster, right?
Well this is wholesome, a couple just had a little snowball fight in the middle of downtown Leavenworth. Steady snow coming down in the Cascades now! ❄️❄️ #wawx #bombcyclone
Over 700,000 customers without power in Washington this morning. Most notably in the two most populated counties in the state where almost half the counties are without electricity. #wawx #bombcyclone
#bcstorm it sounds like a freight train out there and my house shakes with every gust slamming it, but still have power🤞. Winds are picking up though and I hope it’s not gonna be our time in the bucket for an outage like most of Vancouver Island. #Bombcyclone
The #bombcyclone off the west coast now ties the lowest pressure ever recorded at 942 MB off the Washington coast. This was a 69 MB drop in 24 hours. #wawx h/t @mathieublue.bsky.social
A look at the latest wind velocity scans. For those not familiar, the colours represent wind movement relative to the radar, with reds indicating winds moving away from the radar at Halfmoon Peak and greens/blues showing winds moving toward it. #BCstorm
90 km/h winds might not sound impressive to the rest of Canada, but for the South Coast of B.C., this is why they’re a big deal.🌲💨#BCStorm
Some wind gust projections for east Vancouver Island; this ain't your run-of-the-mill 50-70 km/h windstorm. #BCStorm
Some fresh satellite shots are painting quite the picture, looking at another 10 hPa of deepening the next few hours
