Overview
- Environment Canada issues rainfall warnings for Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, southern Vancouver Island, Howe Sound, the Sunshine Coast and Sea to Sky, with 40–70 mm common and up to 110 mm in the eastern Fraser Valley.
- The province places the Fraser Valley extending into parts of Metro Vancouver under a flood watch, and agencies urge people to stay away from waterways and to avoid driving through flooded roads.
- Abbotsford, Chilliwack and Hope are under flood watch, and residents near rivers are advised to prepare emergency kits, move assets to higher ground and monitor local alerts.
- Officials warn that heavier rain in Washington State could raise the Nooksack River with potential spillover into the Sumas River, heightening cross‑border flood risk in low-lying areas.
- The same system is bringing heavy snow of up to about 40 centimetres in the southern Interior, hampering travel on Highway 1 from Sicamous to Golden and through Yoho and Kootenay national parks.
