Special Weather Statement in effect for:- Coquihalla Highway - Hope to Merritt
Wet trend continues in flood prone and affected areas.
Where: Fraser Valley, Manning - Skagit Valley, Hwy 3 - Hope to Princeton via Allison Pass, Coquihalla Hwy - Hope to Merritt.
When: This weekend into next week.
Additional information:
More rainfall is in store over the upcoming days for the already saturated Fraser Valley. The timeline is as follows:
Minimal precipitation is expected today. However, a weather system will move into the area tonight and persist into Sunday.
On Monday, another system arrives with a more significant push of moisture. Rain will intensify Sunday night and continue most of Monday. Rainfall amounts with this system are more similar to typical fall storms and will likely range from 30 to 60 mm. Strong winds gusting up to 80 km/h will also accompany this system.
Given the impacts from the recent atmospheric river and current vulnerability, rainfall warnings may be issued Sunday.
Also, there is an increased risk of landslide activity with the additional precipitation causing further slope destabilization.
