A storm is heading to southern B.C., bringing heavy downpours to the Vancouver region Sunday and Monday.
While it's already grey and drizzly in Vancouver, starting Sunday evening (March 13) heavy rain is expected.
"A storm moving across the region will result in a long period of rain beginning tonight. The rain is expected to be heaviest near the mountains," states Environment Canada online.
Up to 80 mm of rain will fall in the Metro Vancouver region, with the warning covering the City of Vancouver to Maple Ridge and areas north of those municipalities.
The southern municipalities, like Richmond and Delta, aren't part of the warning.
The warning stretches west and north of Metro Vancouver as well, into the Fraser Valley and Howe Sound.
Commuters Monday morning may see standing water on the roads.
"Heavy downpours can cause flash floods and water pooling on roads. Localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible," Environment Canada warns.
The prediction for the week isn't much different. While the rain warning is expected to be lifted Monday, rain, showers and clouds are pretty much a constant in the week ahead. Highs will hit 12 C and a low of 3 C is expected on Thursday night, the coldest point of the week.
