Vancouver — According to the River Forecast Center In southeastern British Columbia, where water levels in some waterways are rising, heavy rainfall may mitigate due to reduced spills, but heavy rainfall continues to inflate rivers in the northern and central parts of the state.
The center issued a flood warning late Wednesday on the Irresilwait River and its tributaries around Revelstoke as up to 40 millimeters of rain fell on the area. ..
Heavy rains have issued flood warnings to the systems of the Blue and Quesnel rivers east of Williams Lake, and high-flow recommendations for upstream Fraser and its tributaries from Prince George to Balmount. I did.
Flood warnings, surveillance, or high-flow recommendations cover the eastern half of British Columbia from the Yukon Territory to the US border and the Fraser River from Quinel to the sea.
As volatile weather goes away, the center will leave the center as the first heat wave of the year will bring temperatures for several days in the mid to mid thirties to all but the coastal areas of the state. We expect the snow to melt rapidly.
Forecasters say there is "uncertainty" about how snow spills will raise water levels in the coming days, but on fast-flowing rivers and potentially unstable riverbanks. Warn the general public to stay away.
