Forecasters say total rainfall could reach 60 to 80 mm near Hudson\u0027s Hope and Chetwynd before downpours ease to showers.

A rainfall warning has been issued for the North and South Peace River regions as the weather office says rainfall of up to 50 millimetres is expected between Friday and late Saturday.

Forecasters say total rainfall could reach 60 to 80 mm near Hudson’s Hope and Chetwynd before downpours ease to showers as the storm moves on. The warning says heavy rainfall on top of pre-existing saturated soils can make the situation worse and raise the risk of localized flooding. The River Forecast Centre has upgraded a high streamflow advisory to a flood watch for the Peace Region, advising that waterways could reach levels only experienced once a decade as rain combines with continuing snowmelt.

The centre says conditions are expected to peak by Sunday and it’s maintaining a high streamflow advisory for the Bulkley River and its tributaries in northwestern B.C., as rain and snowmelt push those waterways to two- to five-year flows before their expected peak early Sunday.Our in-depth journalism is possible thanks to the support of our subscribers.

Gotta say... I love the fact that this is a warning for Northern BC, and all that the Sun could find was a picture of rain in Gastown...

More CANCEL CULTURE BS. So who is Canada supposed to play now to prepare for the World Cup, that will actually be competitive? In the end, WINNING is all that matters. Not political correctness. Canada will go and play in Qatar happily but this one needed canceling? I expect you to cancel your participation in the world cup then
