There's a 60% probability of precipitation. It's going to be on an off showers. Up to 20 kilometres an hour. This is the line of showers that continues to edge towards the lower mainland. It's been moving towards us throughout the afternoon. So, maybe leave about five, 10 extra minutes for wet roads and sidewalks. We'll drive things out just a little bit before the afternoon. Into saturday morning. And it's going to be a fairly wet first half of saturday but I'm pretty sure we get into sunny breaks late in the day. When we look at forecast precip over days some areas in the 10 to 20 millimetre range. That's the whole lower mainland in the blue and that's your 10 to 20 up to 25 millimetres for some. So temperatures also running slightly below seasonal. We'll be lucky if we can squeeze up to a 14° day. It's cooler as the weekend goes on. A little bit of a rebound in temperature although it's still raining on monday we could see another five to 10 millimetres on that day.
