Atmospheric rivers to blast British Columbia yet again with more flooding

Tyler Hamilton, a meteorologist for the Weather Network, a cable weather channel in Canada, called computer model precipitation forecasts for British Columbia “disconcerting,” writing in a tweet that incoming moisture would solidify “one of the wettest Novembers in recorded history.”

“We are bracing for what will end up being probably a record-breaking fall in terms of overall precipitation numbers for many communities along the central and south coast,” said Armel Castellan, a meteorologist with Environment Canada, the country’s weather service, in a video posted to social media.

With climate change, Castellan said, “we are going to see stronger atmospheric rivers on our coasts, and I think we need to be very much prepared for that signal to be amplified.”
