High Streamflow Advisory in effect for Howe Sound

The River Forecast Centre has issued a High Streamflow Advisory for Howe Sound.

An atmospheric river is expected to impact the B.C. Coast beginning on Friday of this week. This will bring an extended period of heavy rainfall throughout the region. Storm total rainfall amounts in the wettest areas may exceed 150-200 mm, with lower elevation and more protected areas expecting amounts in the 50-100 mm range.

Rivers are expected rise through Friday and into Saturday in response to this rainfall with the potential for flows to reach or exceed 5-year flows.

The public is advised to stay clear of the fast-flowing rivers and potentially unstable riverbanks during the high-river-level period.

The River Forecast Centre will continue to monitor and provide updates as conditions warrant. For more information visit http://www.gov.bc.ca/riverforecast.
