Weather System Misses Okanagan
November 10 2026 - A robust frontal system is impacting much of British Columbia, with the heaviest rain and strongest winds focused on the coast.
Vancouver Island is currently seeing the worst of it, with heavy rain at times (50–100 mm on the east side, and 150–200 mm or more on western and central sections) and strong winds, especially along the north end of the island and Haida Gwaii where gusts are reaching 90–110 km/h.
Vancouver and the rest of the South Coast are dealing with periods of rain, gusty southeast winds, and elevated streamflow. Flood watches remain in effect for the South Coast, Vancouver Island, and parts of the Fraser Valley as the system continues through Wednesday.
Up the Fraser Valley, wind and rain are the main concerns, with periods of rain and the potential for pooling water and debris on roads.
The Coquihalla is expecting periods of rain ending late this evening, followed by cloudy conditions with a chance of showers and gusty winds.
Highway 3 (Hope to Princeton) and the Trans-Canada (Eagle Pass to Rogers Pass) are seeing similar conditions, showers or periods of rain tapering to cloudy with a chance of showers, plus some fog.
Significant snow is not expected on these routes right now, though road conditions are expected to remain wet and windy in places.
Closer to the Okanagan, communities appear to have dodged the worst of the heavy coastal rain.
The system is bringing mainly cloudy skies and a chance of showers as close as Kamloops, which marks the nearest the current warnings and heavier precipitation get to the Okanagan.
Temperatures remain mild with no major snow impacts in the valleys.
