A glorious stop in Astoria, OR — my friend @hartungwx.bsky.social picking us up and taking us to various sites, including a shipwreck, Ecole State Park view of Cannon Beach, and the Finnish-American Brotherhood Hall — now off to the Big Island! #ShareYourWeather #ShareYourTravels #ORwx

Racing past Race Rocks Light station! The southernmost point of land in British Columbia and Western Canada! Currently 16°C and a 36km/h wind with a front approaching! KATX - Super-Res Reflectivity 1 18:16 #BCStorm #wawx #BCwx #RaceRocks

Only in Canada — a government sign warning about Canada Geese 😂 #VictoriaBC

Good morning Victoria BC! A glorious very late summer, early autumn day. 14°C, a mainly sunny sky, and some shallow fog lurking over Haro & Juan de Fuca Straits. #ShareYourWeather #BCStorm #BCStormWatch #BCWX #YYJwx

We're probably done with days > 30°C in BC [last chance next week], so here is a recap of this season. - Osoyoos had the most days > 30°C - Lytton had the most days > 35°C & 40°C [by far] ➡️ Osoyoos is often the most consistently hot station, but almost never the hottest. H/T: T. Goose (X) #BCwx

My home for the next 12 days.. the Celebrity Edge 🚢 — so weird to have Vancouver as the starting port. Made for a quick trip from home to the ship! #ShareYourWeather #CelebrityCruises #BCwx #BCstorm

If it wasn’t cloudy Vancouver, we’d be seeing a beautiful aurora right now… of course. Back to our regularly scheduled programming apparently! ☁️ 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 #YVRwx #BCStorm #AuroraWatch #BCWX

A quick weather grammar lesson: The spelling is… “smoky” if you want to refer to the weather conditions: ‘It’s awfully smoky outside!’ “Smokey” if you want to refer to the bear that advises “Only you can prevent forest fires!” #TheMoreYouKnow

SW BC in a weak cyclonic upr flow (a moist, unstable and still rather warm one) to the NE of a sprawling upr low nr 40N 138W. Vrbl skies, scattered shwrs, risk ⚡in the pic thru Tue as the low slowly tracks inland to the S. Temps near avg maxes, above avg mins. More sun, warmer Wed. AQ much better

Another lightning strike this time over Lynn Valley on Vancouver’s North Shore… Likely heard in East Van and possibly downtown Vancouver. The line of convection should be out of the area in the next 30-45 minutes. CASAG - Super-Res Reflectivity 1 17:59 #BCStorm

Band of showers and thunderstorms moving NW through Metro Vancouver— expect these to move out over the next 90 minutes. Remember when the thunder roars, go indoors! KATX - Super-Res Reflectivity 1 16:55 #BCStorm #wawx

View of Golden Ears today, Fri 5 Sep 2025 on the Left & view on a clear day on the Right albeit in winter. #BCwildfire & #WAwildfire smoke limiting visibility and resulting in poor air quality across Vancouver & Lower Mainland. Gradual improvement the next 24hours. #BCstorm #BCwx #BCheat #BCsmoke

“Smoketember” is here in Vancouver & the Lower Mainland: A combo of smoke & an unusually moist Sep airmass making for murky (sometimes very unhealthy) conditions. Things look to clear out smoke-wise this wknd as high pressure moves E. #ShareYourWeather #BCstorm #BCsmoke #BCwx #BCdry #BCwildfire

Smoke plume from the pyrocumulus cloud associated with the #MineCreekWildfire which has resulted in the closing of #BChwy5 / #Coquihalla Hwy —this view from #BChwy1 at Yale BC— highways very different but not far apart. 7:43p #ShareYourWeather #BCStorm #BCWildfire #BCwx @weathernetwork.bsky.social

Haven’t done a look-live in a long time… hello from #Lytton BC, narrowly missing 40°C after hitting it yesterday tying the Sep Canadian high temp record only to be beat by #Ashcroft 75km to the NNE hitting 40.8°C today. Expect things to remain hot the next few days but slowly less so #BCstorm #BCwx

The all-time heat record for September in Canada now has just one titleholder: Ashcroft, B.C., after nudging out its three predecessors with a preliminary reading of 40.8°C on Wednesday. #BCHeat #BCwx www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weat...

A different view of the #MineCreekWildfire — Its smoke plume showing up on radar as it’s exhibiting aggressive fire behaviour resulting in the closure of #BChwy5 / #Coquihalla Hwy w/ no est’d reopen time. CASAG - Super-Res Refl 1 17:47 #BCStorm #BCwx #BCheat #BCdry #BCwildfire

!BREAKING! Looks like #Ashcroft BC is going to take the crown as achieving Canada’s hottest September Day — 40.7°C/105°F Lytton just missing the mark at 39.7°C after hitting 40.0°CTue, tying what was the September record. #BCwx #BCheat #BCstorm #BCdry @50shadesofvan.bsky.social

En route to Lytton, I wasn’t sure which #BCwildfire this #pyrocumulus was associated to… Now certain this is from the #MineCreekWildfire—44km NE of #HopeBC. Now #BChwy5 / #Coquihalla Hwy closed as a result. The wildfire caused by lightning. Stay tuned to @drivebc-bot.bsky.social #BCstorm #BCwx

Near a rock pile and the highway so the temp was highly variable but in #Lytton BC — home of Canada’s highest temperature ever recorded in modern times. 4:19p PT Now to check out the obs station! #BCStorm #BCStormWatch #BCHeat #BCwx #BCDry @50shadesofvan.bsky.social

In winter cold air makes in way down valleys & inlets into the Lower Mainland—In “Smoketember,” apparently it’s #BCwildfire smoke. After many lightning strikes last wknd, fires now affecting BC air quality. Thkfully most not threatening towns. GOES-W - 12:00 #BCStorm #BCsmoke

Air Quality Warning Issued for Metro Vancouver & the Fraser Valley - 11:30 AM PDT 3 Sep ‘25 Smoke is causing poor air quality & reduced visibility. Visit airhealth.ca on how to reduce your health risk & current/ forecast AQHI values. #BCStorm #BCHeat #BCwx #bcsmoke

Smoke from #BCwildfire K61891 near Brookmere (visible from #BChwy5) & from V11960 (visible from #BChwy3) is drifting West in the mid/upper levels - Both started by lightning. Expect haze in the Lower Mainland as marine cloud dissipates. GOES-W-10:40 #BCStorm #BCwx #BCdry #BCheat

While there’s a chance of seeing the aurora tonight, I didn’t say much as haze, high clouds, and moist air is going to limit our chances but it did make for a beautiful Fraser Valley sunset this evening! #BCstorm #BCwx #BCstormwatch

A beautiful 31°C in BC’s South Okanagan — while not a true desert, still one of the drier / warmer parts of the country and includes the towns of Osoyoos & Oliver in the province’s wine country. #ShareYourWeather #BCwx #BCstorm #BCwx #BCdry #BCheat

Happy Meteorological Autumn for those that celebrate! 🍂 This morning’s marine stratus all the way to the BC & WA mountain pass summits this morning. A sure sign that fall is on its way! Warm weather however resumes tmrw & continues until late week. Enjoy! 😎 #BCwx #BCstorm #WAwx

Ugh… this is killing me right now. Yet AGAIN I am not in Metro Vancouver as thunderstorms with frequent lightning (by our standards) continue mainly over the Strait of Georgia. Hope someone is getting great shots! CASAG - Super-Res Reflectivity 2 22:28 #BCStorm #BCwx

Certainly feeling as “subtropical” as it gets in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland — convection popping with the lightning over Whidbey Island WA — Sun, hazy, humid, scattered showers & isolated thunderstorms this afternoon (mainly mtns) #WAwx #BCwx #BCstorm #BCstormwatch

Elevated convection in imagery/radar this AM, #YVR, coming off the Olympics now and starting to dvlp ovr the Cascades. Vrbl skies w/scattered shwrs and chc of ⚡thru the day: esp eve. Exactly where will be a nowcast but more likely N shore alpine. Gusty and erratic winds. AM clds then sunny Mon.

A light haze but an otherwise glorious end of August day overlooking Okanagan Lake in Lake Country BC betw Kelowna & Vernon — 30°C #ShareYourWeather #BCwx #BCstorm

Backside of the thunderstorm to the SW of #Merritt BC — was just about to say it was decaying when it shot a bolt as I was typing this tweet. Nice CG 😳 — will have to be watching for new #BCwildfire starts that’s for sure! 750p PT from Aspen Grove #ShareYourWeather #BCStorm #BCStormWatch #BCWX

It doesn’t look like much, but when you live in BC, you take what you can get… An elevated thunderstorm over the Brookmere area along #BChwy5, the #CoquihallaHwy affectionately known as the #HighwayThruHell — saw some lightning too! — 7p PDT #BCStorm #BCStormWatch #BCWX
