Episode Details

Metro Vancouver braced for a wild night as a Pacific weather system unleashed a severe thunderstorm packed with lightning, quarter-sized hail, and torrential rain—knocking out power for 11,000 homes. Though Environment Canada had issued warnings, the storm’s intensity caught many off guard, fueled by unstable air and unexpected lift. While not the year’s most powerful storm, the hail made it a real threat, prompting a “severe” warning. More storms are possible Saturday, with lingering smoke haze but no worsening forecast. These rare nocturnal storms need a precise mix of moisture, instability, and wind shifts—making them anything but routine.
