Yellow Warning - Rainfall

Heavy rain is expected.

Another round of significant rain for the west coast.

When: This afternoon through Sunday night.

Where: Howe Sound and Sea-to-Sky region.

Remarks: Another moisture laden low pressure system is heading towards the BC coast. Heavy rain is expected to begin late this afternoon and continue through Sunday. Total amounts of 40 to 70 mm are possible.

Already saturated ground from a series of storms earlier in the week will lessen the soils ability to absorb moisture, which could intensify the impacts of this round of heavy rain.
