“Pitt Meadows and West Vancouver, for example, recorded close to 50 millimetres of rain,” Madryga said.

While some areas through the Fraser Valley continued to see heavy rain, that tapered over the course of the morning.

Madryga said the next Pacific front, scheduled to arrive on Monday night and into Tuesday morning, will bring more rain and gusty winds.

However, the high pressure will build again on Wednesday and that will bring sunny, warmer and dry days, Madryga added.
